Turning Blue

What an interesting day!

It was a red shirt day. I played tennis, and then headed off to the cancer center to have blood work done before the petscan. The numbers were pretty decent.

I did not have breakfast because you have to fast for 6 hours before the petscan.

The petscan procedure went as normal. The nice thing is that after I get injected with the magic solution to facilitate the scan, I get to wait for an hour in my own room with my own TV. I can watch the political shows without it bothering the research manager. The slightly annoying thing is that it took 3 tries (pokes) before they found a vein that would work.

After the petscan, I get a CD of the scan. I can pick up a written report tomorrow which will tell me more. I should also be able to get the CEA cancer marker number.

However today, it is just the CD. The research manager reviewed the CD although she is not a professional radiologist.(I can't believe that she has not become one in the last 6 months!) She feels that it looks like the liver looks pretty clear. We will know more tomorrow.

I found out two things about colloidal silver today. The first is that one risk is that it can turn your skin blue. What happens when my skin turns both orange and blue? I can apply to be a University of Florida mascot! Go Gators!

The second is that it should be taken with Aloe Vera. That way, my gut will never suffer with sunburn.

I had two dreams last night that I remember, which is unusual for me. I seldom remember any.

I invite you all to determine the meaning of this one.

I went into a store with my son Graham and his friend Nicholas to buy a ping pong ball. Nick picked up a ball, but lost control of it as we walked toward the counter. It ended up stuck behind my ear. Everyone was looking for it, including the store clerk and I turned my head to show her where it was. She retrieved the ball and we completed the purchase. Thoughts?

Today, I had more than double the normal number of page views, including a good number from Russia. I also had several notes of encouragement. Thank you all for your interest and support.

Tomorrow will be a big day. Fingers crossed, but do not cross your legs. It will distort your blood pressure reading.

Time for a soak and bed. Speaking of the soak, I got gasps of surprise from the tennis group when they learned that the rubber ducky is blue. Apparently it is taking colloidal silver.
