That was a big fuckin' donut

[digitaldiscipline]

So, in the midst of a hellaciously hectic, short-staffed workday, I got to trundle to a diagnostic imaging center, fill out some paperwork, have a jovial dude shove a couple of needles into my shoulder (lidocaine, then iodine), and spend some quality time as a crude approximation of sexual intercourse, my prone body lurching longitudinally through a series of giant, expensive, scientifically-clever rings (first a CAT scan to pre-image and determine where the dye should be injected, then into the giant MRI machine).

I only fell asleep twice; once during the eight-minute scan, and once during the four-minute scan (there were... five altogether, I think. 3, 4, 5, 8, and 4; the first couple were the uncomfortable ones because I had to keep my palm rotated forwards to externally rotate the humerus, and that gets tiring). I have a CD with my imaging results on it, so I will be checking those out on my home machine tonight (no optical drive on my netbook), and the evaluation will be transmitted to my orthopedic dude once it's been conducted by the radiologist or whatever the imaging expert's title happens to be.

I am a sexy bitch in hospital scrubs, I tell you what.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy

And thanks for reminding me, I need to buy scrub pants.

Hope the damage is soft tissue and heal-able.

I dunno. It is absolutely not skeletal, but otherwise, NFI until i talk to the experts.

Hold on, let me find my surprised face ...

Huh. You're surprise face looks an awful lot like you're 'gee that was totally expected' face. Weird.

Also I'm SO BUMMED I'm not working 3rd shift with you on Friday night now. Actually...yeah we're not working any shifts together. How can I make you feel uncomfortable if we don't work together?

... you can show up as a guest? And, really, do i have time to feel uncomfortable? i'm too busy counting noses and managing crowds to really be attentive to stuff like that. you remember last year where i ended up playing velvet rope for the fucking trek and brit track shit in the grand ballroom because i got there early for our events and HEY WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS NOBODY FROM THESE TRACKS HANDLING THEIR GUESTS

Nah, it wasn't because of lazy staffers. It was a trap because they wanted you within visual range so they could drool. True Facts.

It's a perk if one can even make hospital scrubs look good. That's hard to manage!

They're comfy, if sadly lacking in pockets. A FB friend suggested kilts in said material, but those would be... breezy and prone to being wind-lifted so.... only situationally-appropriate *laugh*

Hope you get that shoulder fixed!
