Khhhhhh Khhhhhhh........

Achooooo you say? Well today Just A Guz experiences something to which you may feel a blast of air shoot out from your chest. An x-ray of JAG's chest. This is another of the little list of three very big things to get done before Japan. Why a chest x-ray? Well, it may be because they it is a cool thing to see inside your chest, but in reality there is a little ambiguity. I think Japan watches for TB. Or other lung type problems. Not really sure but I did just spend some dollars getting a chest x-ray. So to dive into the ordeal please step forward and enjoy this process with me.

I came into the hospital and found the x-ray lab. Filled out about 15 mins of paperwork to ensure I had insurance. Then took the plunge. They took me into a room called the women's changing room. I thought "adult diapers"- sick- but to my relief it was a room with shower like rooms inside. A lady said go into a room and put on a pretty blue gown, no wait she said- please I think the pink one would be better (maybe it had to do with my skin tone- not sure). So I began to put it on and ..... what there is like 5 strings on this shirt- where do they go to- and soon I was tangled in a mess of a pink gown. well not that bad but it was confusing. So after about 2 mins of confusion the nurse came and took me to the x-ray room. She put on a lead vest over my waste and we proceeded to a large dark room with a table and a wall board. I stood up to this wall board- which was flat and had like grid marks on it. She contorted my hear up and had me reach my "short" arms around the board till I could barely stand on the ground. Then snap snap. Done- I thought about a 20 min prep and a  minute process. Crazy. Then I returned the pink gown (to my dismay) and left. Done. Wow so fast so painless (except the contorting my head and body to this wall board). So thank you for going through this process with me. I have done it and now shall enjoy the bill.

Remember: Lead thought in paint can be harmful can help you- like in the lead vest put around my waste to protect me! Lead is cool- a bad and good!
