Re: This wk things could change, I'm nervous.

Jackie, I have to admit...I would of thought for sure a "US" would of been much quicker to get done then a CT. We just can't win sometimes can we! There has been alot of scary news about too much radiation exposure lately...and the CT's not being set-up correctly, so I don't blame you for choosing a "US". I'll be keeping you in my thoughts & prayers for good results. Sorry you have to wait till Thrusday...waiting is so hard. Hang in there.
