We were right on time for Bill's CT scan at 9:30 a.m. and after just a few minute's wait, they handed him the 2 glasses of contrast. We were very concerned and wondering how he was going to drink them since he's not had anything to drink other than sips of water with his daily pills in over 2 months. He did drink about 3/4 of the contrast, but he also throw up a couple times.
Unfortunately, right after he drank the contrast he began shaking and having the chills. I wrapped him up in a warm blanket and he shook for the hour he had to wait for the CT Scan. He made it through that, and we left the area, but he was shaking so much that I made him sit down in a chair in the main entrance and got a couple volunteers to get warm blankets for him. I also got him some coffee to see if he could sip that. We sat there for about 40 minutes before he felt he could leave.
He's been on the couch all day sleeping. He said he feels terrible - just like a chemo day. This is very unusual for a CT scan. Please pray that he feels MUCH better in the morning. It's been a discouraging day for him.
