>> Today is 'prep day' for tomorrow's PET scan. When I was handed a piece of paper at the C-Dr's office and told "Here are your prep instructions for the scan", I gotta say my thoughts went immediately to what a lot of us associate with 'prep' -in a bad way- and that's what you go through before a colonoscopy. Thankfully this is different. Very different. The diet protocol today is high protein (meats, eggs, cheese, leafy green salads, etc.) and low carbohydrates (no pasta, white bread tortillas, sugar, etc.); lots and lots of water. Also, 'NO Exercise 24 hours prior and limit activity the day before and the day of the scan' or as told to me when I asked just how limited activity should be: "You lay on the couch and watch TV all day." Hey, I can do that!

I wish I could join you and lay on the couch and watch TV all day. Good luck tomorrow! Love you!
