(Very low-carb diest, which I&#8217;m not used to bolusing for.) I had an appointment for a PET scan Wednesday noon, confirmed the day before. While I was on the plane, with my phone in airplane mode, the hospital called to say that due to a Cyclotron breakdown in Seattle(?) they had to cancel. Then the doctor&#8217;s office decided that since the earliest I could be scanned was Friday (if the Cyclotron cooperates), they would move the Doctor&#8217;s appointment from Thursday to next Tuesday. Which probably means another round trip to Anchorage&#8211;if plane space is available.</p>
<p>Of course the Friday scan means I won&#8217;t be able to make that day of the writer&#8217;s conference. And I seem to have two appointments at two different places for the scan.</p>
<p>About all I am sure of at this point is that I well be here for the Alaska Writers&#8217; Guild conference Saturday and Sunday. I <em>might</em> know a little more about my health status. If I sound up in the air, I am. Wish me luck.</p>
