CT

I should make a note about the CT scan I got this morning. It was surprisingly uninvasive - I'd never had one before - and surprisingly no big deal. But the craziest thing was the tech.
So I walked in all good to go, and he was like, "So, compression fracture, huh? What were you, snowboarding?" in his verrry Bostonian accent. I tell him the short version of the story. Then I get on the table by myself, get scanned, and afterward he's like, "Nice cell phone in your pocket. We see everything!" and then: "Do you need help up? Are you moving around OK? I could see it." I'm not too sure how to take that other than not to take it as anything. But it was weird how his attitude changed. Let's hope that is just a reaction to the fracture period, not to the horrible-ness of it.
I get the results on Thursday, noonish. I'll post when I can...
