The Bone Scan ...

Yesterday was the first of a couple of important tests to see if the Monster has grown. I sure hope not.

The day started out with A and I going to the Dixon Centre where I received a radioactive injection and then had to drink at least 3 glasses of fluid and come back in 4 hours.

I am so grateful my gorgeous wife "A" was with me. We actually had great time during those 4 hours. We went looking for jeans in Halifax, Sackville, Bedford and Dartmouth. It seemed like a date! The neat thing about having a killer monster within you, is that you become very grateful for the time you have with loved ones. My "A" is special.

The bone scan was an interesting procedure; I just laid still for 20 minutes while the x-ray machine took photos from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. It was painless, however, it was scary ... I was wondering what the pictures will look like ... will there be dark spots and if there are, I have a bigger problem than just my prostate. During the test procedure I found it a good time to pray ... "God Grant me the Serenity to Accept the Things I Cannot Change; The Courage to Change the Things I Can and The Wisdom to Know the Difference". This prayer seems to cover it all for me.

I will find out more in a week or so when I go back to Dr. B's office.

Today was a good day. I got a few hugs and I had some laughs with co-workers. I went to the office and had a great chat with L. Thanks for the honestly.

I also made an appointment to update my Will with my lawyer. I found this hard to do as it seems I am giving up. Thank God I have a great lawyer; he told me people who have Wills usually live longer than those who don't. Gosh I hope he is right; I really want to believe a lawyer this time!

More tomorrow ...
