ralphmeltonSo, this morning, I went to the hospital for a spiral CT scan, as part of the continuing story of Ralph's kidney stones.
The scan was one of the most low-key medical procedures I've encountered. You lie down on a bench and get put through the center of this big plastic donut, and occasionally you get told to hold your breath for a moment. But you're lying down the whole time, your skin remains unbroken, and it's not claustrophobic at all (since your arms and legs are free of the donut).
No idea of what the results are; the appointment had been scheduled for tomorrow, but I rescheduled that for Tuesday.
