How does my neck look? 8/19/10

Prep for the CT scan included a fun hospital gown since I had to remove everything above my waist and an IV for the contrast dye. The nurse told me when the dye was administered, I'd feel a warm flush, and it may feel like I needed to pee, but I wouldn't - all normal side affects. Then I'd be put on a table and my body would go through a giant doughnut hole. I was led into the scan room, and sure enough there was the giant doughnut hole, as promised.







They told me that my ENDO should have the results of my CT scan within 24 hours. That would put me at Micah's swim meet tomorrow (Pan Pacifics, 50m breast stroke prelims) if he had to call me with the results. 


No matter what shows up on my CT scan from earlier today, it doesn't change what my scar looks like. So, how does my neck look?

  1. Good for you for getting it over with!
    You should think about doing a progressive series (side-by-side) of your neck pics. Looks good to me today!

  3. Thanks, Rio! - that is a great idea. I need to figure out how to get my photos to post side by side. I posted all my neck photos, up until last month at least, on the 'Neck Archives' tab, but I couldn't get them to post side by side. I'll work on it though, and try to post it before the end of the month. Thanks again for the idea!
