  Ok, so you know how I said I would kick today's ass? Yeah, opposite. I had a CAT scan done today instead of an MRI, but the CAT scan did NOT go well.
They inject this dye into your veins to do the x-ray; well, my first vein couldn't take it so it "blew" and the dye got all in my skin - and it HURT like a bitch. And I was already scared to death when I got in there so I freaked out. I mean, total panic attack, I couldn't calm down. We tried the other arm and that worked but I was already well past upset by the time it came to that.
I have been to the doctor, been poked and prodded and x-rayed three different times this week, and I just want to scream. My arm is swollen and will be for some time apparently. So, I need a good weekend dammit. I'm back at work b/c I feel bad about missing so many hours, but I can't concentrate worth a crap. We'll see how long this lasts. I'd like to go take a nap now, actually. Outside, that is b/c it's BEAUTIFUL out there! No one should have to work on days like this (quoting Ferris Bueller). I think I might need a drink tonight and a bunch of hugs from a certain someone tomorrow.
