Awwww, sweetie......you can do this!!! If I can, you can, I promise!!!

thank you I have to do this.....I screwed up today and researched it. I was fine until I did that. Now my hands are ice cold (even colder than they normally are), slight shakiness, and fear.

You have time to breathe.....and now you'll know and not be freaked during your test

My Hida scan is tomorrow evening at 3pm....and I am scared. I hate to admit that. From what I could read about a Hida scan, it sounds like I will be getting an iv with radiation injected into me. I hate needles,and then on top of not being able to eat past 9 AM I am afraid I am going to be a mess. I just pray I do not get nauseous before I go. Anytime I go too long without eating I get so sick that I can barely function. I am not looking forward to this....I wish they would have explained what the procedure was to be. I am hoping for no needles, and instead be made to drink something. the doctor in my town said I would be made to drink something, but i have had to go to a hospital in the next county over for all of this and the doctor office in my town are not the best quality, and he told me that before I even had the ultrasound. I am just nervous, and I do not know what to expect.....and needed someone to vent to.

awww...you will do just fine.

See what happens when you "study" for a "test"?

My dad has been queasy and on the verge of throwing up the past 2 days. They had to give him anti-nausea shots and maalox today. He still hasn't gotten any test results back and still not sure when he gets to go home.

He's still goofing off like usual, though. I received a picture of him holding his empty pan and saying he was starting his "bucket" list. He also said it made a good helmet and sent a picture with it on his head. And his incision sites are looking good.

Lol...his disposition cracks me up....Cody's right, that's a good sign!

I'm over my pissy mood....
Back to our regular programming

 

[cooladdict]

Yep! I basically got it for half the price of a new one. It was actually a little more when I decided to buy it, but I waited until the next morning to order and it had gone on sale for another $30 off, lol.

Sweet! I love it when that happens!

Back in the dawn of the SLR camera in the 60's and 70's, Nikon was the predominant choice of professional photographers as they were built like tanks and didn't have all the newfangled electronic metering systems that would require batteries and could fail. This is why almost every photojournalist working in remote locations and war zones relied on their Nikons and Nikons was the standard that every other camera was measured up against. By the 80's and 90's, more and more pros started using Canon cameras, specifically because of the quality of the Canon L pro lenses. It was also during this time that Nikon tried to control costs by moving most of their lens manufacturing to countries outside of Japan, and the drop in quality showed. I have some friends that use Nikon gear and to this day, they still will only purchase Nikon lenses if they were made in Japan.

That's when my dad got his. We lived in Germany in the last '70s (the second time) and he got it through AAFES, so it was a good price at the time. A lot of my childhood is captured through those lenses.

Oh Ducky! Vent away! Just think of how relieved you will be to finally have some answers. I just had a blood test where they documented 54 different values. It was 5 tubes of blood! I'm glad I did it, though. They found out I have low iron, which I am not happy about at all because I can't take oral iron very efficiently, and some other lab values were off so they adjusted some of my vitamins and supplements and I have to go back in a month to have those labs drawn again. I hate needles, too. I will be thinking of you tomorrow and praying that the doctors find the problem and it's an easy fix!!

Thank you I will be so relieved to have answers or at least narrowing down of possibilities. I have calmed down a lot I got scared after my research....lol
I am sorry you had to go through that I am glad it is something manageable

Although I DO love the retrievers!

My friend's (Fay's) friend and dog are Karen and Anton. She said they made the cut but didn't place. She said she is rooting for the German Shepherd to win Best in Show. Has that happened yet?
She also said this:

"During the herding group David said that the first dog (Australian cattle dog?) got loose and gaited herself around the ring without the handler. I'm going to have to find the video of that.
Here's a pic of Anton. He looks just like his daddy did at that age."

David is a judge who she used to show dogs with back in the day. She is having a ball with this.
