Dr. Khanna said I needed an Echo Cardiogram and a CT scan to further determine the internal damage. I have them both on the same day and go to the CT scan first. The instructions I received said - no zippers or snaps on your shirt. Fine. I go with my zipperless and snapless Tshirt, only to be asked - Are you wearing an underwire bra? Uh, do they make other kinds? So I have to remove that and I'm already feeling exposed. Test is a snap, though, and I mosey over to the Echo Cardiogram office.
Still feeling a little uncomfortable from before, I'm asked to completely undress on the top and put the hospital gown on with the opening facing - you guessed it - forward. The guy is very nice, but let's face it, he's not an MD, so Mr. Non-MD has this wand thing covered in jelly stuff and he's all over my left breast like a 15-year-old enjoying his first time at 2nd base. It's kind of cool, seeing your heart on the monitor, so I pretend to be engrossed in that while I'm trying not to appear completely mortified by the process. Then, to really drive home the humiliation, when we're done, Mr. Non-MD picks up a towel and proceeds to wipe the jelly stuff off my chest. I snatched the towel from him and said (I may have yelled) "I can do that!"
Luckily, Matty was able to meet me after for a little bit. He let me vent, vent and vent some more!
All said, not a fun day...
