I'm heading for my RAI this afternoon. I'm very very nervous. I hope they let me keep my laptop. The nuclear nurse said it was fine, but sometimes this place seems so unorganized I just have this horrible feeling they are going to take it away. I'm very tired as I didnt sleep much last night. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep through most of this. I just wish I knew how it all worked!! I wish I had a better understanding of how it spreads and how it would "infect" others. It just doesnt seem right that they are having me injest this radiation. My mind just cannot seem to get around it!!
I will tell you this much too... I AM SO HAPPY ONLY A COUPLE MORE DAY OF THE STUPID LID DIET!!! I did very good and didnt cheat at all. It was even quite easy the first week... week and half... but boy oh boy I've been tired of it for several days now. I'm ready for some freaking food!!!!
I'll post more later... as long as they dont take my laptop.
Been thinking about you SO much. Read my post on the RAI experience. www.xperiences.me
ReplyDeleteIt will give you a good idea what it was like for me. Bring those no salt matzo crackers. Seriously. I was sick and because I was on LID could not have toast or regular saltines. You need something to feel better. Of course some people don't feel sick at all.
I too am freaked out about what I am exposing to who. It seems every piece of information conflicts between different experts! ARGGG. I don't know when I am going to feel comfortable just hugging and snuggling with my little guy. I will tell you that the paper work I signed says I will have some radiation in my for just about 30 days. ARGGG
anyway.... GOOD LUCK!! I hope and will say a prayer that your whole RAI experience will be uneventful.
PS - I am eating Pizza right now:) I NEVER EVER EVER want to be on LID again:) The first week was just fine but the last 4 days i was DONE!
