What has no carbs and no sugar? My diet today.

In preparation for tomorrow's PET scan I need to have no carbs and no sugar today until midnight and then only water after midnight. When I hung up and thought about it... what can I eat that has no carbs and no sugar? Air? Water? Ice? Turns out meat, sugar-free jello, tea, water, spices... guess we are having steak and jello with iced tea for dinner. This is the last test before surgery, last day of work for a month, and time to get an easy-care haircut. Mohawk, anyone?

So a PETscan is a process where you are injected with an isotope solution and it "lights up" any cancer cells in your body. We are hoping for only one lightbulb; not a Christmas tree effect. Every test so far has confirmed that the intestinal tumor is the only one. Let's keep that luck rolling!

Peace and blessings,
Michelle ;-P
