CT Scan


Yesterday I had the pleasure of my very first CT Scan. What an experience I must say. The day started out with drinking a "berry smoothie" which did not have any resemblance of anything berry and looked more like watered down Elmer's glue. The first bottle I had to drink at 6am within 30 mins. It went down okay no problem but the thought of drinking a 2nd bottle already was getting to me. Upon my arrival I was instructed to change into a very fashionable gown and to keep my shoes on. This day I had these really great suede and gold shoes so I was walking the red carpet on my way to the machine. I did have to say that this contraption was very fascinating and I found myself wondering how this machine was even invented and how it worked. Looks like I will be making a pit stop to either howstuffworks.com or wikipedia. Apparently while some of the photos are being taken it is necessary to hold your breath. At first for 5 sec and then 16 sec and lastly 10 sec. All my years of practicing holding my breath actually came in handy on this day. I also found that I get nervous trying to follow the technician's directions. Its like I am a 5 year old just learning to understand the words breath in and breath out. Needless to say everything took just about 20 min and I was out of there ready for a 4 hour nap when I got home. Now only if I can see what my insides will look like. Hopefully the doc will show me!

Flair of the day...

So I thought I'd share with everyone one of my favorite pieces of flair. I have many favorites but this one often comes to mind and cracks me up. It really is a great picker upper and on a Monday, that is what I need. Zombies really freak me out! They are the only freaky nightmares I have as a result of a movie(s). I found that out way too late after watching 28 days a few years back. However, one zombie movie I can watch is Resident Evil. Maybe because at least some people survive and Milla Jovovich survives every time not to mention she kicks some serious booty.

So how do you survive a zombie attack?

The way I would survive or try would be to run. And I I couldn't run fast enought, well that's when the flair comes in. I would trip you. Don't take it personal I would do that to anyone, well, to whoever is the closest. I do need some company for the future years. So first run and then hide. I think a good place to hide would possibly be underground. You have to make sure there is cement walls on all four sides and a good door...preferabley cement. I think cement all over...then no problems because zombies could dig through poorly made cement free walls. Not saying this place would be a permanent solution due to the lack of ventilation and limited resources of food. Another great hiding place could be a deserted island. I personally think this is the best option. Go to a small island and you can plant your own food, have lots of fresh air and you could live a pretty much fear-free life. Just as long as you find an island that doesn't have crazy zombies living there. You could try to survive on a boat if you can't find a habitable island. You would still be stuck with the limited food sources cause I don't think you can eat the fish since they could possibly be contaminated, however, make sure you have a large supply of soil and vegetable seeds and you should be set.
