i went to an ultra sound lab Friday for a 'checkup' session. the technician was particularly interested in the area just beneath my sternum - i evidentially have an aortic aneurysm that last summer measured 3.5 centimeters across. not to worry until it reaches 4 cm - whoopie. she asked me things like, 'do you still have your gall bladder' and 'do you have any abdominal discomfort' and 'you didn't eat or drink anything after midnight did you?' - like as if maybe i probably didn't, and i should have, and i must have... i watched her screen as she took pictures and then rolled her mouse across each shadow and clicked on the edges leaving notched ruler markings..... a lot of her rulers were longer than 4 'ticks' which looked about like centimeters. i'm guessing i should have exploded long ago... we'll see what the doc says.
