Had a bone scan on Monday.
Nurse to Nicole: Now make sure you continue to drink lots of fluids & empty your bladder often. The radiation is excreted through your urine & we don't want the radiation sitting in your bladder next to your ovaries.
My thoughts: Greeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaat.
Remember my hip MRI? They had to take x-rays while they were sticking the needle into my hip joint to inject the dye.
Nurse to Nicole: Now, because of the nature of where this is, we're not going to be able to protect your ovaries. (by placing a lead thing on my belly)
Nurse proceeds to take 5 million xrays while they place the needle in my hip.
My thoughts: Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaat.
At any rate, I got the results today and I don't have a stress fracture, but it's on its way there. I'm to only do swimming or cycling type exercises for two weeks. After two weeks I can test it out slowly and if I feel any pain, stop. The doc said 1 month at first but then saw my reaction and switched to two weeks. I have another follow-up with him in a month. At least now you won't have to listen to me complain about my ankle all the time. :)
