I hated the breast MRI - like truly thought it was a miserable and mentally-challenging experience. Sadly, I know I’m gonna have to get used to them. I will have a lot of them. But onto the better news. I was definitely nervous and anxious yesterday going into the CT/PET scan. I have been told there would not be the loud sounds and banging, but I was still concerned. A lot of people have asked how the scan went.  Did I do okay? I keep laughing and saying the scan yesterday was like a spa experience compared to the breast MRI. So in my opinion, not so bad.

I also realized how grateful and thankful I am that it was done yesterday. After surgery I won’t be able to hold my arms above my head for an hour straight for at least 6 to 8 weeks, which means that scan could not take place for quite some time. So once again, jamming one more thing in what feels like a chaotic schedule made sense.  It was the best decision. I forgot to ask when I will have the results. I’ll follow up on Monday, but I assume early next week.

So for now I will do my best to have a beautiful Saturday, enjoy my people, and sit in the sand. If I can maintain half of Halle’s joy today, I will call it a smashing success. She was dancing on the bed to “Let It Go” and more before we even made it out of bed. Tomorrow I plan to boss everyone around to get the house in tiptop shape and ready for the week ahead. We are still working out the details but I promise even on surgery day, we will find a way to get an update out.
