Melissa,
I'm not ready to have you leave either and I really can't believe this whole thing is happening - it does feel like a bad dream. You are a dear friend and you're *always* welcome!
Ann,
I was never asked to sign anything and yet when I arrived for the x-ray, I was sent to room 4 rather than room 5 which is the room we normally go to. The x-ray technician didn't say anything to me and when I enquired about the new machine - a tubular enclosure with lights that start flashing from the floor up, she explained that the radiation dose is 20 % of regular x-rays. I didn't question this because I was happy with the prospects of less radiation and I trust drs Rivard and Coillard so I didn't think much of it. I don't think its a panoramic machine but it does take lateral and P/A at the same time. I'll phone the radiology dept at ste Justine tomorrow and ask for the name of this machine so that we can look it up on the internet.
