hodge podge...

i'm sorry if u're sick of my snow posts

guess what? i'm sick of the snow! ;0)

but i thought this time lapse video was really cool...it's of the storm that just hit us Friday/Saturday & was taken in DC (2hrs northeast of us - where my hubby is from & where my inlaws currently live...hi Pop!)...i hear they got about the same accumulation as us - a little more in some areas...of course it hits them a lot harder up there - those city folk don't worry about 4-wheel drive...or even have a place to put all the white stuff when they plow! ;0)



it's snowing right now - just the beginning of the new storm that's supposed to hit us today...they're now saying 6-12 inches...we shall see, i guess

don't forget about the Valentine Truffle offer i have going on right now...let me know by Thursday if u want your truffles on Friday or Saturday

i had another CT scan yesterday...has it been 3 months again already?!

this time, i had to drink about 30 oz of this "smoothie" that they gave me...it seems they wanted a clear shot of my belly & pelvic area this time too (along with my chest & neck)...the smoothie really tasted like liquid TUMS...it was chalky & disgusting! & i of course couldn't eat anything for 12hrs leading up to my scan...it's a good thing i didn't too!

cause as soon as they put the contrast in my IV, i lost it! u know how u get that warm feeling down the back side of ur body from the contrast? well, if u don't know - it first puts a weird taste in ur mouth, then ur neck gets warm, then ur back...all the way down to ur butt...they tell u ahead of time that u'll feel like u peed ur pants - but that u really didn't - it's a normal sensation ~lol~ well, anyway...they'd already done a few scans - i guess with just the smoothie in my system...then they pulled me out & put the contrast in my IV...they slid me back in the machine & the warm sensations started down my body...the warmer i got, the more nauseous i began to feel!

this was a new feeling...normally, the contrast doesn't bother me at all...but this time - whoo! they were in the middle of scanning me the 2nd time, giving me the instruction to take a deep breath & hold it...& it was taking all i had not to hurl right inside that machine, let alone hold my breath! as soon as they pulled me out, i sat up & told the nurse i was gonna be sick...she handed me one of those nifty pink hospital buckets & up the smoothie came!

i was just glad that i made it thru the scan...cause i def won't b doing that again!

i meet with my oncologist on the 22nd & will get the scan results then...u know i'll keep u updated ;0)
