Yet another great moment in CT history. I did not sprout a horn after my CT this morning.
I refused to premedicate with the Benadryl and prednisone, so the CT tech tried a different brand of IV contrast. No horn! Hot damn! He made a note on my folder and said next time if he wasn't there I needed to make sure and ask for the "special sauce". I don't want to know what that means. He told me the brand name, but all I can remember is something like Fezziwig, and I'm pretty sure he's a character from A Christmas Carol.
Also, based on the CT smoothie poll we had a while back, I tried mixing in some raspberry Crystal Light into the shakes. It was better, simply by virtue of the fact that the artificial raspberry flavor masked the smoothie's berry flavor. Of course, I had to start taking the contrast at 4:30 AM because they changed the instruction sheet, so I'm not sure if my taste buds were awake yet.
Anyway, all clear - no more CTs in 2006! I'll have one in February 2007, which should wipe out my annual insurance deductible right out of the gate.
