Radioactive-ness...

So, since it's been a VERY long time since I've posted anything, and with a little nudging from Kendra, I have decided to talk about the experience I had today. I have been having a lot of pain in my bunion area. And it's not the normal pain that I had before my surgery. We're talking fire, aching, 1000 needles, stuff like that. Well, after a long road of trying to figure out what it was, my doctor told me to have a bone scan done.

Bone scans are when they inject radioactive tracer into your bloodstream. The tracer quickly flows into the soft tissue in your body. They take pictures with this special machine that's almost like an MRI machine. Then they tell you to come back three or four hours later, because by then, the tracer will have settled in to your bones. If there are any fractures or breaks, even ones that have healed, or some area of trouble, they will show up on the screen as "hot spots". You are then able to see where the pain is coming from.

Well, I had mine done today, so for the next 12 hours, I will be radioactive. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to leap quickly across the room or have objects move. However, I did have an incident in the bathtub. I was just sitting there reading, minding my own business, when a huge jar filled with glass shards (I promise, it's a decoration!) fell into the tub. I didn't touch anything, and it was pretty far from the edge. (Twilight Zone Theme Song Plays)

It was really interesting to see all these little dots moving around in my foot. We'll see what the doctor says!

Please, people, don't forget to comment! I love comments! Plus, I want to see who is actually looking at my blog. Thanks!
