Today is a lazy day. No exercise allowed before the PET scan tomorrow morning.
It turns out I am very good at doing "no exercise".
On Monday the 4th of April, Maddie and I drove from George to my house in Pretoria. 1225 kilometers. (761 Miles).
We left George at 06:30 and arrived home at 21:30. 15 hours. We stopped for fuel 4 times, and had a big lunch.
The night before we left, I had bad PLP and slept little. We were worried I may want to sleep all the way. It turned out that twice I faded, and needed a nap. Maddie drove both times, while I slept. She ended up driving about 1/4 of the way.
We saw a funny shaped dam. It looked like it was made of huge beer cans.

We stopped and gawked at some yucca plants that were HUGE. The stems grow 5 meters high, and they are about the size of my upper arm at the base. Not good walking sticks, but they might make good telephone poles. The farmers use them as fences for sheep.
Tomorrow is PET scan day.
As before, the pet scan has a long list of what you can and can't do before the scan. Today, I am on a zero carb diet.

I had my PET scan today. I got all the pictures and the CD with all the scans. The official results are only going to be available next Monday.
We looked at the pictures. They print out the most relevant ones. The radioactive chemical they inject into me collects in areas of large capillary veins. Usually where tumors are.
My pics show that my brain has good blood flow, as does my dick, and my heart. Some men think with their dicks, and some think with their hearts, and some with their heads. I guess I think with all three.
Maddie and I see nothing that resembles the tumors that were in the last PET scan. But PET scans are very tricky, and there are many false conclusions possible. So we will wait for the expert report.
