They deposited more of that glow in the dark stuff in me today. I am really starting to look forward to Halloween this year! First they did the brain scan. They hooked me up to an IV that made me feel very warm for a few minutes and then it passed. It felt like a heavy duty hot flash. Then I just laid there, very still. There was nothing hard about this test at all. A few hours later they did the bone scan. Different room, different machine, different technicians, but still an easy test. They strapped me in so I would not and could not move easily. Joking with them I wanted to know if they were actually into bondage and found a paying job to be able to act out some of their fantasies. After being strapped in, all I had to do was lay there while the camera scanned by body. As I lay there, I did find out one interesting item. I am obviously claustrophobic. When the camera was over my head and upper body from the top, I had a very hard time dealing with it and started hyperventilating. I recognized it quickly and realized how ridiculous my reaction was. I knew I wasn’t trapped in any way. So, I concentrated on keeping calm and managed to get through it just fine.
After the tests, hubby and I traveled to salon to pick up the wig I had ordered a week and a half ago. I love it! It is a very inexpensive wig, but it looks really nice on me. It is about five inches shorter than my natural hair, so it comes to my shoulders. I was thinking about cutting off a couple of inches in my pre-cancer days. This just made it easier! Another bonus….. It is a perfect color. I won’t have to think about dying my hair to get rid of the salt and pepper combination! Once or twice a year, over the past few years, I would go through the dye or not to dye decision process. Often, the why bother would win. With the wig, I get a new hair style and perfect color all in one! Now I feel like I can still blend in with the human race as I go through this. It should work great until they turn out the lights and my body starts glowing in the dark!
