OT: Another CT Scan
Well the Radiologist office called me today and says the doctor ordered another CT Scan on my neck! So I have to have that done tomorrow.....at least I don't have to have a contrast and drink that barium stuff! That's a good thing!
I couldn't understand her too well because she had a really deep accent but I think this one is for "soft-tissue". So what did they do last time? They did my neck then. Oh well......
I will just have to be paient I have calls into the doctors office to find out what's going on but no one has returned my call..
I'm trying to stay positive. Maybe something didn't go right on the first or maybe they just want to see something again for whatever reason.... Hope you all are having a good day......and thanks for the support! Jeni

Jeni...did they use the contrast dye on your last CT scan? Maybe this one is with or without it, whichever they did last time...??? Other than that, I can't think of why they want to do another one...
This doc DOES know that you just had one??
Maybe call her office one more time if you feel like it and ask questions!
In any case, I hope they figure out what's wrong with you soon....

Hi Lori,
Yes, they did the contrast last time. The first one was on the pelvic, abdomin and chest and the 2nd was on the neck. Now they want me to come in and do another without contrast just on the neck.
I left messages at the doctor's (Ortho) office but no one called back and I also called my PCP's office to see if they had received the results from the first one's and they had not. Oh well..........
I'm sure they will get to the bottom of this whatever it may be soon.
Thanks! Jeni
Thanks Jodi!
Thanks again for the support. I'm trying to stay positive that hopefully it's just a mistake or some other reason...... You know, I always have to have something to worry about. If it wasn't this it would be something else! lol
I could probably wallpaper a bedroom with all of the film I have had this last couple of months! Hey, maybe it'll start a new trend! I bet my Grandson Tommy wold think it was cool! hehehehe

Jen, your probably right. Knowing little boys he would. I think thats why we get along. Where I use to work I told them if I aint *****in and complaining check for breathing, so they made me a sign or my desk. So you be the worrier and I will be the complainer... Keep us informed.
Have a wonderful day, and an even better weekend.
Like could they just get it right the first time? Jeni....I am thinking super positive thoughts your way gf....and I know when you go to the docs on the 3rd they are going to say...Jeni...all well that ends well.Know I am crossing my fingers and everything else I can think of to make this outcome positive for you sweetie!
