Currently, I am typing this at MD Anderson Nuclear Medicine facility. Jennifer is getting a Cat-scan, which will take about 45 minutes. I get to sit in the room with her while she's going through it. She is doing a great job of staying still even though she's somewhat claustrophobic. Come to think of it, I think she's sleeping. I am really tempted to put my hand in there and so I can see what happened to my thumb and index finger a few years back when I injured them. However, the guy in the window is eyeballing me, so ill probably refrain for now.
Actually, he's a nice guy.
Next on our agenda is to let the doctors review the cat-scan to find any accumulation of the radioactive iodine marker she took yesterday. If there are pockets, then they can compute the dose of radioactive iodine shell need to ablate the remaining thyroid tissue. Or, in the case of my coworkers danger, maybe they will not find anything and Jennifer goes home without dosing up.
Assuming she does dose up, she will stay with her parents for a week to get away from the kids. All you people in Winnie, bring your marshmallows. There's a free marshmallow roast at the Koch residence tonight.
More later.
