"Piece of Cake and a Vanilla Yogurt Parfait"

Had my CT scan this morning. It was a piece of cake! 
I was told (incorrectly) that it would be a 4-hour ordeal where you'd get the IV, drink some weird solution, come back 3 hours then have the scan and be in the tube for 35 minutes or more. WELL... NO. None of that was true! We walked in at 9:15 and walked out at about 9:37. Truly couldn't have been easier. Only rough part was getting the IV by a student who CLEARLY needs a LOT more practice (and I pity his next few victims because it was ROUGH!). The scan wasn't even in a full tube, just a donut around the midsection and was over and done in 5 minutes (and no loud noise like an MRI). Then we were out the door and went straight to Cracker Barrel across the street for breakfast and coffee (and I was super excited since I was fasting!). Did y'all know that Cracker Barrel now puts the calorie count of EVERYTHING right there in the descriptions on the menu?? WHAAAAAT? Man, that takes ALL the fun out of it (you don't EVEN want to know how many calories you've been consuming at this place!!!)! I ended up with a (delicious) yogurt parfait, egg whites and turkey sausage but still reached over to "help" John with his chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy! HA HA HA. YUM! 
Have an appointment tomorrow (man, SO MANY APPOINTMENTS!) with my NEW oncologist (#2) and he should have results from the MRI and CT and then we meet with the surgeon again Thursday SOOOOO hopefully by the end of the week we'll have a better idea of The Plan. 
That feels good.
