One Year Anniversary of my Knee Replacement
I had my follow up to see the revision specialist to order the bone scan on 4/01/19. I have had a dreadful fear for the past 2 months, that this test was going to show nothing wrong and we would be back at square one. Even at the doctor's on 4/01, he seemed to not remember 6 months ago what we talked about. I am thinking great, here we go again. But he ordered the scan and recommended that I have the bone scan done at a specific place, not for the scan itself but because of the person that READS the scans. I wanted to schedule closer to my home, but he stressed, do I want someone preparing the report that sees maybe 5 of these a year? Or do I want someone to interpret the scan that reads 5 of these a day? We lucked out and got in that day for the scan. It took hours, the radioactive isotopes had to be delivered to their location, injected into me and then I had to wait 2 hours before the scan which took about another hour...
