The cost keeps going up so I figger I should start having health symptoms that require body scans & sheeet. Got to make it feel justifiable to keep shellin' out all that do re friggin' me.

I got stomach issues currently that has required an X-ray & now on to a cat scan. X-ray showed nuttin'! Not looking forward to whatever is involved with the cat scan but I temporarily feel good about having my healthcare coverage.

Well, the x-rays showed nuttin because you're gutless! Ya hear me? And that is why you have nothing to report.

In other words, no guts, no glory.

:)P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WoW, That's harsh! What crawled up your nethers sir? Nuttin' like kickin' a brother while he's down.

no scope?

I gotta say, that food tasted really good afterwards, but my stomach still plagues me

Scope? As in mouthwash? I am still trying to figure out what Packrat was crying about? Is she saying that I should have no healthcare coverage for me & my family? Is that what the no guts no glory thang was about?

catscan is no big deal.

I've had two in the past few years.

Bad part is...........for abdominal, you'll probably have to drink some really bad tasting stuff that will make you ****........also they may inject a contrast dye into you.

A **** cocktail. Crap, that sounds nasty. Does it taste like ass?

scope as in 'shove a little camera down your throat'.

and Pacman's sense of humor is sometimes different, but he means no foul by his post.

there are two flavors that I was offered..........lemon and something else. I picked lemon since lemon can mask some bad ****.

It was like a very very bitter lemon kool-aid.

The contrast dye (iodine based) screwed with me though..........I am not allergic to Iodine (shellfish, etc) but it burned my throat and made it swell a bit.

I already had a sore throat so I guess it agitated it.

Good info. Thanks gentlemen. Hope that you're all good now andyTV.

what about me?

You don't care about how mine turned out?

Andy is the only one who counts?

Aw, moonman, I thought you knew I was joking. I even threw in one of these to make it clear:

:)P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#9 Last time I had a CT scan was with iodine. If I were the hospital's attorney, I'd have just about had a heart attack at how casual they were about it. No informed consent, no discussion of possible reactions, etc. The guy is about to inject the stuff into me, and I had to ask him for info. about that. He even casually admitted that yes, I could possibly die. Then went ahead and injected it, no signature or form to sign of fill out, nuttin'. So of course, I had a reaction to the iodine. Not enough to put me into shock or a life-threatening situation, but damned uncomfortable.

Sorry Big Chief! I'm an insensitive **** at times. I hope that you're all good as well.

Hey pacman357.......I'm a wee bit sensitive at times.

I was making a joke.

I was more worried about Andy, as well

Dang Big chief I was feelin' real BAD about not givin' a damn about yo arse.

Lesson learned!

Big chief= Big joker
