12:45: I check in at PET.

14:00: I am called to the back. They sit me in room 7. The new system has them ask me a number of questions rather than filling out a paper questioner. They put my answers directly into the system. It takes them three tries to get the iv started and when they finally do it is in a sensitive area in my lower arm. It took two nurses to start the IV as well. They also give me a contrast to drink. The nurse returns with my radioactive glucose to inject into me and injects it. The IV is really sensitive. They leave me to drink my drink and rest while the glucose does it’s job which is about an hour.

They come and get me and bring me to the restroom and then bring me to the back.

I get scanned, CT scan first with the iodine injection which then turns into the PET scan.
