So, since updating my situation things have moved. I have had bowel clearence THREE times since leaving the hospital, and I have had 4 16 oz glasses of water. So I pee every five minutes.
After making my update I called the Hospital and asked some questions. I asked this guy that they connected me to how radioactive was I still. And he explained that I had a diagnostic dose this time which wasanywhere from 10 to 40 times less than what I took last year. So if I wanted to be extra cautious I could avoid children and preggos, but otherwise I was fine, and if I was around afore mentioned people that I shouldnt stay near them too long and give extra personal space. He also said that depending on the sensors at the base I may or may not set them off, but I had my card, and that card would enable to fly in this condition so he saw no reason why I wouldnt be allowed on base.
So I continued with my breakfast plans with Gretchen, we went out at 10am and I still hadnt heard back from the Body Scan people. As we were finishing up the lady who scanned me this morning called and told me the doctor wanted to see me, and I had told her about my bowel clearence, and that I really could not go into tomorrow, could I go in later today. So she hung up to check with the Doctor, and he said he would see me at the end of the day but I have to be there by 4 because they close then. I said I would be there at 3:30. And it was a good comprimise. She did tell me not to have any steak and I was like "I just ate sausage gravy, ham and eggs for breakfast" not to mention a delisious piece of apple pie with ice cream. She told me not to worry about it and just flush my system all day. So I am working on my 5th 16 oz glass of water, and I didnt plan to eat for the rest of the day anyway.
Now I wait, and I drink, and I eat lemon candy to keep my salvatory working, and I pee, and I drink and I pee. I should move into my bathroom again. I am not as pissed as before, but still not thrilled about my situation. I am full from breakfast and I feel like I am going to float away.
