I've been busy despite working only four days this week. I was back at The Lahey Clinic today for a PET scan with an EEG as the opening act at 7:15 this morning.

My Dad picked me up last night and I had dinner with the parents and spent the night there so I could make my crack o' dawn appointment.

I have to say the EEG was weird. I was monitored for 30 minutes (no simtulus), in a seated position. For some reason the PET scan people wanted me to be in a dark room alone with just the portable eeg. I think this was the first time I saw the actual display of my own scan as it happened; more benefits of digital workflows.

The difficult part of this set-up is they told me to stay awake. When it's 8 am and i don't have coffee or breakfast and am made comfortable and put into a dark room...well, it was hardest part of the test. The technician complimented my ability to withstand the sleeping instinct.

After that they gave me the IV isotope and I got into their scanner. In ten minutes it was over and I felt like Bill Bixby in The Incredible Hulk TV show intro.

"You wouldn't like me when I'm angry..."

Now back at home and may have freelance work next week. Standby...
