a new experience

I had a CT scan today.  This was a new experience for me and I didn't know what to expect.  I arrived early for my 3:30 appointment and was taken into the scan room by 3:25.  I laid down on the movable bed, was slid a little way into a big tube, and had my feet tied together to hold them in position. By 3:36 it was all over.  The hardest part was holding still. I also had to hold my breath briefly, three times when a weird voice sounded over a speaker saying "Hold your breath." and then "Breathe." in a Darth Vaderish sort of voice (if Darth was a woman). All in all, not too bad.  Tomorrow another step in my surgery prep - I'll be in a physical therapy session.  I suspect that won't be as much fun.
