Subject: RE: BS: JenEllen runs away from home
Under orders, I was to tell you that Jen is well and has been packed into a van full of rowdies and dogs and headed for the border.
    Yesterday was okay. We got everywhere we were supposed to be on time. The CT was a little unnerving, and seemed to take forever because she was shaking. She's not had good experiences with them before. They kept piling blankets on, but I think she was scared more than cold. She finally held still long enough for pictures, and I think she was relieved to not have to go from there to a hospital!
    The PET scan was interesting. No oral contrast media, it was an injected toxic glucose. Jen drove the guy crazy wanting to know the exact drug mechanisms to the last base pair. Then off to the doctors for a pre-chemo checkup and then to the clinic for treatments. A really long day. I tried to make her eat something last night, but she was asleep the second that fat white cat hit her lap.
    I'm heading up after work on Friday, and will print this collection out and take it along, if no one minds. I think she'd enjoy it.
