Sign on the door of the room I’m waiting in.

Going nuclear
I am just waiting for the scans to begin they gave me an IV and told me they’re putting glucose and a small bit of radiation into my veins. On the way into the room the sign read nuclear medicine. Really hoping I glow in the dark later.
Low carb pre pet scan day.
Good thing I’m not getting a cholesterol test tomorrow. I had to be low carb today to prep for tomorrows test. I had eggs, bacon, cheese and steak. There were a few veggies, but mostly just meat which was pretty delicious.
Having fun in San Fran
We’re having fun in San Fran. Lots of outdoor dining and mask wearing so hopefully avoiding covid. Now that we are here the anxiety of actually getting here is gone.
Jeff said he now understands hot flashes. Last night we were cold since it was 45 degrees and we were eating outside. At one point i had a hot flash threw off my winter coat and moved away from the heat lamp and sat there in a tee shirt and still was sweating.
We made it to San Fran
my hair hasn’t looked this good in 2 years. I also haven’t worn jeans in two years.
No one in the seat next to us
We look like deer in headlights because the seat next to us is empty. With every straggler that boards we get nervous. So far so good. This 8 hour fight will be better if we have an empty seat between us.
Getting ready to board.
If I knew I’d be singled out for a search I would have packed lighter. The security person unzipped my carry on and it was like a sock cannon. Socks and bras flew out.
12/9 We got our negative Covid tests, and a free pen.
Well I got a free pen, Jeff didn’t get one. I forgot that the testing site was in a gravel lot and I didn’t wear good walking shoes. I tripped on my way in. I think they felt sorry for me, because they found me a chair and let me keep the pen. They really felt sorry for me when I asked them to spray hand sanitizer on the cut on my foot to wash out the gravel. That hurt as much much as you would expect.
12/7 Jan had her spinal surgery!
Great news! Jeff’s mom, Jan had her scheduled spinal surgery today. It went well and she is on her way to recovery. Soon she will be back to drinking martini’s. This picture is from a few months ago. While I’m sure she would like a martini, she just had the surgery, so has to wait.
Jan had spinal surgery a few years ago and it didn’t do what it was supposed to. She has struggled with constant pain and mobility issues for years. So happy she is on her way to being back to her old self.
Jan and I have already agreed that when both of our surgeries are done will will drink martinis together and toast our good health. Of course whenever I see her we drink martinis, but this time we will also do the toast.
12/6 We got the booster!
Thanks everyone for checking in with us.
We were able to get our booster shot today.
Hopefully this will help keep us covid – free on our flight to San Fran and pre-surgery.
