Tuesday

It is not that I am overly occupied with myself it is just that somebody has to be and might as well it should be me. How is that for being full of myself?

Today again, I woke at the crack of dawn and headed into Manhattan with the working people. This time I took the subway which turned out to be a very pleasant experience. I guess because of the holiday there were very people on the train and that meant I immediately got a seat.

Just to explain, I had a 9 am appointment for a CT scan of my kidneys since the doctor at my last visit noticed a small cyst. So, I got there earlier than I planned but the place was already packed.

I walked in and as usual in a place like this headed to the receptionist being ready to hand over all the necessary information about my life. But, she directed me to a terminal behind me where I was supposed to do the entire checking in. Honestly, checking in on a flight at the airport is a lot simpler than this thing was.

I was working on it for about ten minutes but at the end it all came together. This stuff tremendously impressed me.

After a short wait and gulping down four cups of water I was called in to the CT scan room. And they did the thing I came for.

My Wife had this done to Her every two months and never ever complained. That was what I was thinking of when the needle jabbing hurt.

They injected some dye into me and that gives a very peculiar sensation. I suddenly got very warm from head down to the end of my fingers. I knew what to expect but still when it happened it was weird.

The whole scan lasted about ten-fifteen minutes and then I was out of there. Now I just wait for the verdict. Next Monday I am going to my specialist to hear it.

I got back on the subway and went home. The subway cards allow free transfer up to two hours. So when I got back on my homebound train I was still within the two hour limit thus my trip home was free.

Great country, isn't?
