The wait to get in was a bit longer than usual, especially first thing in the morning. The nurse said … how are your veins?  Not great I said … I already had two pokes yesterday so real estate was limited. After the hot pack on my hand and a couple of love taps, a vein popped. 
After the radioactive tracer was in, it was another half hour for it to circulate. So while that was going on,  I had a warm blanket and a comfy chair and foot rest and my new Smartphone to keep me occupied. 
Next,  I climbed in the scanner along with another warm blanket … could have gone to sleep but didn’t.  Had to stay still for 45 minutes … on my back. 
After the scan was done, I put my fake boob back in my bra and headed home.  I’ll get the results in two weeks. 
I’m back here later today for chemo.
