Up on the 5th floor

We are now on the 5th floor Acute P.T. unit. We got the suite. It is bigger than the last place. The suite area is twice the size of the old one. Susan is getting a EKG done to check her heart. There was a issue with the CAT scan, and the doctor had Susan get a ultrasound of the thyroid area to check. It was a fluid cyst, so there is no need for alarm. The EKG was also just fine. She is scheduled for a PET (??) scan on Monday. I do not know how that scan works. More later...

The PET scan is done with a puppy dog. They lay you down on a table and the dog jumps up and down on your body until it (the dog) sniffs a germ. The dog then barks and the doctor takes a photo of the spot.
The spot on your body (confusing if the dog is named spot.) The dog then jumps down onto the floor. This is what the doctor calls a "leap of faith".
