It was the last thing that I wanted to do ! I bit the bullet and made the appointment (after 2 gentle reminders from Gail)
They gave me a slip for an X-ray
The day I went for the X-ray was horrible. I had flashbacks to being a kid in those X-ray rooms, knowing the outcome would determine whether I would remain in a brace or be allowed out
I sucked it up and went in. I made one critical mistake....I happened to walk by the room where my X-ray was on a screen. OMG. Not good.
As the technician handed me my X-ray. He said "good luck" in a somber voice
Well, I was in a panic. I grabbed my X-ray and ran back to my physical therapist. I may have been a little over reactive! I sat in the waiting room and asked to speak to Gail for a few minutes .
She finally came out and took a look at the X-ray with me
She was so calm and said "we knew it was like this" "you are actually more stacked/balanced than we thought" I left with an assurance that the black shadow was just bowels!
I dropped the X-ray off with the spine doctor. The receptionist told me could just bring it with me on my appointment., but I insisted she take it so that I wouldn't have to look at it!
