People often ask
Why I joke and laugh so much
It's so I won't scream
(bad Haiku #138)
At the ER on Tuesday I asked for, and got, a hard copy of my chest X-rays. I need to figure out a way to post them here, because they are truly amazing, if not bordering on hilarious.
I am unable to see any little veiny things or spare arteries sticking out of the heart - which would be the actual bypasses. What I can see, though, is very surprising: The wire sutures which are holding my sternum together.
As a whole it looks exactly like the lacing on a roller skate, complete with a two-loop bow at the top. I kid you not, some asshole tied a friggin BOW on my sternum. WTH?
Who thought it would be a good idea to do that? Do all women get bows on their sternums or do men get it too? Maybe men get a manly square knot or something similar. I want to laugh, cry, scream, and punch the responsible person in the face all at the same time.
Addendum: I have to figure out how to backlight the X-Ray so it can be seen in order to take a photo to post. It is the old fashioned black film kind of X-Ray - very dark looking until it is backlit....working on it! lol
Heads up, they can give you a CD with the JPEGs on it. Make sit easier for posting. :)
