The Dye is Cast

This morning I went to Medical City to have CT stonogram done. I psyched up myself that it was a very simple procedure and painless. I went to the hospital alone and confident that I am an adult and I don't need a companion. Preliminary testing and questioning was done. Too many questions asked and the explanation of adverse effect of the dye freaked me out.

"The dye can cause allergic reaction to the body. You may experience difficulty in breathing, rashes and worst case is heart attack," started the medical attendant. Not sure if she was a doctor.

"Do you have history of the following: heart ailment, thyroid problem, myoma, hypertension, cancer, diabetes, blah... blah.." It was a series of Q and A and it started me to feel nervous already. I should have asked my aunt to accompany or asked someone to come along with me to the hospital.

I texted my colleague who volunteered earlier to accompany me to come to the hospital. Unfortunately, he was sleeping. Backing out is not an option. Have to go through the procedure and get done with it.

So far, it turned out well and I felt like a survivor again! Every time I go through a medical test that is a little bit complex, I feel like I am an amazing race participant or a survivor contestant.

The results will be out tomorrow and I like to celebrate small victories of faith because I claim that I am ok and no critical findings.
