Oh...the Queso...with a capitol Q!!!

Well, this morning started early and I didn't sleep much, so I was tired. In fact, I had three alarms set this morning and I somehow turned off all three of them and fell back asleep. Thank God for Hwy 75 morning traffic!!! Up and out by 6:45 to drive up to the hospital for the scan. Made it with time to spare (don't worry mom...traffic was light, yeah, I couldn't believe it either)! Got right in. They walked me in and had me lay down on the scanner. I forgot to get a photo, so I found one on the internet.

(There was supposed to be a big picture of a plastic donut shaped machine here, but it won't show up now, so you get this lame description instead.)

They had me lay down on the plastic stretcher, which by the way was actually pretty comfortable. I ended up laying on it for almost 3 hours. And when I said I was cold they brought out a blanket that had been in a heated box. Wow!!! I may have to plan to have my own blanket warmer someday!!! The stretcher raised up and the two arms enveloped me like a pair of tongs. They lowered the top one to what seemed millimeters from my nose and explained that I needed to stay still. My only response was "Can I sleep?" Unfortunately, the machine is a loud machine! So no sleep, but it was nice to just lay there with my eyes closed. I figured I would eventually go through the machine, but no. The two arms, starting at my head, scrolled down to my feet and then returned to my head. I think that one was a 45 minute test. Then they mentioned doing one more, don't quite remember it as well as the first one. The testing lady came in and adjusted things for another short test. Then she returned and said she would take the scans to the doctor and would return shortly. When she returned, she said the doctor wanted more scans, so another hour or so of testing. This time, the two floating arms focused on my neck area and did a complete 360 around my head, yet it took 45 minutes to do that. Then, to my surprise, the stretcher started moving and I went into the donut for a CT scan. Finally I came out of the scanner and they said I was done. I should get the results later this week, so now is the waiting game.

I left the hospital and headed straight to work. I also started my medication back except at a height dosage. My new doc had given me samples that would last until I see him in 6 weeks. I got to work and was greeted by my coworkers eager to say hello and welcome me back. As I updated them on the past week, I mentioned to them that I wanted to have the queso from Matt's, called the Bob Armstrong dip.

It is probably one of the best queso dishes to have ever been created. It is the perfect blend of ground beef, queso, guacamole, and sour cream in a bowl. You mix those ingredients and...a taste of Heaven!!! Here are a few photos of sheer pleasure!

Unbelievably good! Once the work day was over, I attempted to find a local laundromat as all the clothes, sheets, towels, and anything I used during the week that could be washed, needed to be washed. Finally found one, but didn't have time to do the laundry, so tomorrow after work, I will be at the laundromat washing and studying for class. Well, it's after midnight and I am exhausted! Good to see people, hug them, and say hello in person! God is good!

Goodnight!
