They are checking bone density, so no clue what particilar body part.
I guess it's a full-body scan, then? In any case, it's not bad. You just lie there and don't move and think of England.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Suzi, both you and your mother are in my thoughts today. I hope everything goes well for both of you. Calm~ma.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Suzi, good luck with all the tests. I once had a bone density test that involved putting my feet on a thing that looked like a foot massager, I'm assuming they passed a very mild electic current through me, to test the density. I doubt this will be the same thing, though.
I need to whine about having to go in to work today. Whine, whinge, moan, groan, complain.
Thank you all for listening.

Oh, just to get ALL my whining out (as if)...
L, my assistant, is going to have to go to stronger chemo meds with treatments every 3 weeks (she had been every 4). She is going to try to keep working...but she is struggling as it is now.

Punishingly Intricate
Okay one of the things a friend does is say "Sounds like my dates" after anyone says anything vaguely porny. It's ridic, of course, but has become because of how ridic it is, hilarious. It drives his wife crazy but she'll do it all the time when he's not around. So she was in Denmark this summer at an international acting, I want to say, camp. A weeklong workshop with other professional actors from several countries. And someone said something porn-ish and she said "sounds like my dates" and then had to explain what that meant. Turns out every nation represented there had a similar thing. The only one she could remember was the Dutch which is (and I don't know the spelling) "In mein brucke" or "In my pants."
I'm telling you all this because:

Are you having something like a Dexascan, Suzi? With that, you just lie down and it's done in less than 10 minutes. No muss, no fuss, hardly any noise. With a bone scan, as WS says, you have to be injected with a radioactive tracer and wait about two hours before the scan. Aside from that annoyance, you also have to stay still for a rather long time for the scan. That's easier if they put straps around you. Yes, it's better if you're tied up.
