We packed up the kids and went to Meadville for the PET scan. Jeff has been fasting since 730am. We were supposed to see the doctor at 120 and him have a PET at 240. But they called to reschedule the scan so the scan is for 1130. We were not aware when I agreed with the PET scan scheduler when she called that we could not see the doctor AFTER an PET scan so the doctor's apt has to be rescheduled. Which in a way is fine,I guess- he won't have much to talk to us about until after we have results of the scan anyway. It should take between 1 1/2 and 2 hours for Jeff to have the scan. Jeff's new doctor saw him in the hallway and introduced himself. Explained it was better to see him after he had results anyway, told us Dr. M had given him a report and history on Jeff and assured us that waiting to see him wasn't going to hurt anything.
As soon as they took him back to start the test, the kids and I went shopping. Still had to decide on what the man with everything needed for Christmas. We got back and sat in the waiting room about 5 minutes until Jeff was done. It was difficult for the younger two to stay away from Jeff for the rest of that day. Because he was radioactive following the test, he was to avoid young children (younger than 5) and pregnant women. Our kids didn't really fit into that category, but we figured it was better to be safe than sorry.
We go back to be with the doctor in a week.
