My health situation..

Thanks for the kind words all.
EntityX - It doesn't matter if I don't believe in God, I am still very thankful for your thoughts and kindness.
I actually didnt get to "eat" the contrast fluid... I got it intravenously, it stinged a bit and I got this sickening warm feeling...but it only lasted a couple of minutes.
Seems like I have to wait a week to get the results. I'm at work now... I'm on the night shift but I cant sleep. Too much to think about I guess.

That was my experience exactly, except that I took the "sickening" part literally. The nurse was a real cutie, and she brought me this little tiny bowl. Had I the time, I would have wryly commented that she had sorely underestimated how much I ate. As it was, she got to find out.

Thinking back on it, that might have been the "bad taste" that DClamp was refering to.

You live in a day and age where the outcome can be anything. Even thought the death rate is still one per person, this particular setback may be no more significant than tearing up a knee, and you should try to see it as such. A positive attitude does help, even for bad news.

I'm surprised they are so concerned about a 5mm object in your brain. If it is an aneurysm, most likely they won't do anything since its so small, and the risk of
rupture is low. But I guess in these days of litigation, they can't take any chances.
