Sending you positive, calming vibes your way.
Scan time is never easy, no matter how many times you've had to endure it -the fasting is a bummer (especially NO COFFEE in the a.m.), the contrast is awful, the effect of the contrast on the GI is gross & worst of all, the waiting for results is, at the very least, brutal.
In the face of all of that chaos, my ScanTime ritual includes spending the hour while the contrast is circulating, and those 23mins-"Eyes to Thighs"-in the machine, meditating & thinking about all the people & things that make me happy, make me laugh,make me feel loved & make me calm.It's like a running filmstrip of time w/my family, funny things my nieces say & do, encouraging words from friends & visualizing the beautiful beaches of hawaii. I often leave the scan feeling more Zen'd out than when I arrived & ready to finally enjoy a big cup of coffee.
May you rest well & rest easy tonight.
