The outlook for Thursday



Tomorrow I have an arvo date with a super-flash CT scanner.

The med geeks are gonna peek into my chest, abdomen and pelvis for any signs of additional cancer action.

The pre-scan instructions came in the mail. About seven pages of them.

Drink this. Don't eat that. At exactly this time. And not before. Or after. Do you have bland nodular goitre? Or hypersensitivity to x-ray contrast media? How the fuck would I know? What's hypersensitivity to x-ray contrast media anyways? All I know is I'm allergic to the dodgy nightgowns they make you wear when you head into the scanner. That question wasn't on the sheet.

I might swallow a really small toy soldier tonight and see what they make of that.

I can tell them it's an anti-cancer operative.
