hey. this is a great story... its been a while that i have read one too. umm.. just for future reference catscans take 5-30 minutes and nothing more really. they take a drink for a couple hours but the patient can do that in their room.. so thats my little side note.. but it truely is a great story and i can't wait to finsh wat is available for us..

Author's Response: Actually, I think Buffy was waiting for the surgery to finish, not the cat scan. (I jumped ahead.)
