Today Belle had a bone scan on her spine to see if she has a stress fracture. If you have never had a bone scan then you really don't know what you are missing. It starts with an IV injection of radioactive dye. Then you get to wait for 3 hours while the dye circulates. Finally you go back and get the scan. Belle had one previously for a stress fracture in her foot. It took 30 minutes. When you get one on your spine it takes a lot longer. We were in the room for about 2 hours.
At least CHKD (where we had it done) has video capability and Belle was entertained, but it was a long, painful process anyway. She had to stay still in a somewhat awkward position for a really long time. She was a trooper none the less and did manage to stay still. We also got to go out to breakfast and then grab lunch at Doumar's, our favorite greasy burger dive.
Now it is time to wait and see. We go back to the doctor on Thursday for results. I know Belle wants an answer, but I want her to be okay. No better than okay, I want her to be good! I am praying that all works out well!
