My CT scan went decently. I guess. First I got taken back into a room to get ready. I had to take my shirt off and the tech hooked me up to an EKG and a blood pressure. Then she started an IV. She had to give me this med to lower my heart rate. People normally need less then 3 doses. I needed 7 doses. Finally my heart rate was low enough so I could go to the CT room for the scan. After that I was brought back to the first room and monitored for half an hour. It was only supossed to take 1.5-2 hours but it took almost 3.

Anyways, I'm home now and I feel ok. Just slightly nauseated from the meds. Its rare for insurance to cover this kinda test and medicare only covers it if they are looking for specific things. I heard them mention PVPs in my EKG

Tommorow I get my eyes dilated and I really have had it
