CT Scan Day

This morning, I had another CT scan.

After drinking a cup of "contrast", I walked around the hospital, inside and out. (Dr. Malviya likes an hour-and-a-half wait for the contrast to circulate.) I stopped over at Dr. Malviya's office and picked up a copy of my blood test from last week. (The CT people already had their copy; I just wanted to see the results myself.) The tests needed (for liver function) for the CT scan were fine, but my MCV (mean corpuscular volume) and eosinophils were high. I am not sure what that means yet. (Looked it up, but still not sure.)

But as I was walking around, I decided that if someone is starting to know where hospital drinking fountains are located, that might mean the person is too familiar with the hospital.
Ha!

On the other hand, walking outside, enjoying the beautiful summer blue sky and soft breeze, I loved being there, close to the hospital, but outside.

I also thought my funniest experience so far in the day was noticing the signs on a about-waist-high-or-so brick wall parallel to the front of the hospital, along the pick-up lane: "For safety. Please do not sit on wall." I wondered if people used to sit there and to smoke. Maybe someone sat up there and fell backwards. I pictured Humpty-Dumpty. Legs flying up. A small amusement.

There is a mural over the CT table/machine of the Grand Canyon. Ah... Sometimes it is good to think of other places, even when it is good to be where we are. Life is bigger than Here.
