Quite a response from all of you in my plea for big, fat, juicy veins and it worked! Thank you so much!! The nurse was excellent and found a hidden vein inside my right elbow (what do you call the space inside your elbow other than the inside of your elbow??). She was in so quickly and easily that I didn't know she had put the needle in. I do admit to not doing a very good job at drinking lots of water during the day nor did I stay up late, but I did sneak in a bottle of water at 5 a.m. I also walked the 14 blocks and three avenues to the radiology facility in the hopes that the exercise would get those veins a-pumpin'. With those efforts plus all your good wishes, we had great success.
The tech people never tell you anything about your scans, I suppose for fear of providing inaccurate information, so it will be next Wednesday the 27th before I hear anything about my CT scans and who knows when I will hear from the orthopedic surgeon about the bone scan. I'll probably have to call his office next week for an update.
I return to the office on Monday, so I'm trying to enjoy my last few days at home. We slept until 7:50 this morning!!! Ed went to bed very late and I was wiped out from my day, so I suppose that explains it. I haven't slept that late in a long time.
Thanks again to all and I'll be back with an update as soon as I have one.

That's awesome Karen! I hate needles too. I've had several surgeries in the past and that was the part I hated the most. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good scans. Hang in there and say hi to Ed!
