maystoneThat was an actual headline from a tabloid newspaper in the 80s. One of my coworkers used to cut out the more bizarre headlines and staple them to his wall; this was my favorite.
My radioactive head is not running loose in the city, though, thankfully. The test turned out to be different from what was described to me and more in line with what I'd initially thought. They shot me up with the isotope, then I had to lie still for 30 minutes. They cut me loose for what was supposed to be about 1 hour 20 minutes but that turned into two hours because they were running late. Then it was back for another 30 minutes of lying stock still.
I just want you all to know that I rocked that lying still thing. The nurse was so excited. "You were excellent! I don't think you moved at all. Your pictures are perfect!" It was very cute :) What can I say - I am very goal oriented. Gotta admit that the last 10 minutes were pretty tough; the second set of pictures were on a machine that had a narrow metal bed; it wasn't comfortable to start with and then my back and shoulder started twinging like crazy. But I soldiered through. ::insert noble pose here:: When I got up my balance was really off for some reason - more off than usual - and I was listing all over the damn place. Good thing the hallways all had handrails, because at one point I was hauling myself along as if I were on the deck of a sinking ship :)
The results should be in by Friday. Long week ahead of me, guys.
Dar and Mark were in the GTA today, so I had the place to myself. Me and 10 cats. Speaking of cats, I let Mao outside while I fed the kittens, trusting that he'd stay in the back with the little guys. I left him while I did the alpaca thing, and when I came back he was lounging around in the shed with the rest of the felines. What a good boy.
So thank you all for the good vibes, thoughts, wishes today. You guys rock even more than I do :)
