Terrified. Alone on the bed, trembling like there was no tomorrow. I felt cold. Doctor, turn up the heat please. I was too scared to even say a word. The nurse tucked me in under this heavy blanket. Much better. A man came out from this room, but I couldnt get a look of his face. My vission, blurred and nothing was in sight. I need someone to guide me.
"Have you gone through this before?" He asked.
I only managed to breathe out the word "No." Fear overcame me. My hand, still trembling, was put on my body. Pain was what I felt. The needle that was piercing into my vein was highly disturbing to see. I couldnt bear to look.
Slowly, the bed started moving into this chamber. Has it started? I'm not sure. I couldnt really see. No, i was brought back out. They took out the top part of the needle that was piercing me and plugged in something from this machine. Couldnt really remember what it was called though. Contrast was it? Not that sure. Its purpose is to enable all the veins in my body to be seen, the blood stream to be exact. Before I know it, he said that he will insert into my body.
I could feel the fluid in me, entering my bloodstream. It was cold at first. My fingers turned numb. "You will feel it getting hot and you will feel it at your throat," he said. True enough, I felt it. I was brought back into the chamber.
"We're going to scan now," they said.
