Mission Accomplished

On a grey, wet Saturday morning we arrived at the Imaging Center parking lot… early. Bob didn’t want to take any chances that I would miss this second try with the PET Scan. At the reception desk I was given a handwritten note of apology and a gift certificate for dinner for two at Anthony’s Restaurant. In an often cold and impersonal world, I was pleasantly surprised to be treated with such sincere concern about the PET scan failure on Wednesday. The technician came for me and we walked to the truck in the parking lot. Far from home and on what should have been her Saturday off, she completed my scan with smiles and her own apologies about the previous computer failure. It seems that with all the thumping and bumping that comes with traveling up and down I-5, a part had suddenly fallen off the computer. Today there was no Country Western music but the machine worked just fine. Now we wait for the results, which may take several days.
