Lika’s Log

Ohhellyeah. Three times, three different types of mahines. *L* Ok I knew I was getting scanned today. As opposed to scammed. I didn’t know it was gonna be with three different types.

If I wasn’t sick before, I’m sure they will find out now how sicko I really am with all the high techie stuff they wen run ova me or run me thru.

First 7am scan, the MRI looking bigass donut dilly machine. You just lie still and the “flatbed” pushes you thru da donut and back . I cannot look. I gotta keep my eyes close. Cause one time I wen open my maka’s when I was right ova da machine/camera part and it was like right in my face felt like and I had this claustraphobic panic feeling. OMG I wanted to jump up and run but neva. So if I just keep my eyes shut and let the process happen den I’m ok. That was Scan #1. Radiologist Dr. not in till nine, of course; so won’t know woteva results till I go back to my Dr next Monday.

K ~ go to my Drs. Office next door. Oh ~ BTW I go to the same hospital as where Kirby Pucket (da baseball player) had surgery & stay staying, so pray he gets well & recovers.

So anyway, next I had one Ultrasound. Sounds like I hapai? hehehe Same kine I tink, but dey do my neck, not my opu. Speaking of opu, I lost 2 lbs. wooohoo. Watch I make up for dat, when my tastebuds get back to normal. Anyway I thought it was a cool thing. Minus 2 lbs only 18 moe fo’go. LOL

Ok I’ve never had any medical training but it doesn’t take a Phd or a MD to look at a screen and figure out if there is something there thats not suppose to be. The first time I had an ultrasound done I asked the Tech if there was something wrong. She says the doctor will tell me. Ok so I said let me rephrase the question, because I know techs aren’t suppose give results or advise dey just ‘pose to take da pic-cha. So I said, “Yes or no, this side is suppose to look like that side, same same? Her said, “Yes.” Ok mines no was same same. How smart am I? Duh.

Moe worst I go ask her. “Do you ultrasound yourself?” She started cracking up, she said yeah because she see’s all this strange things in other people, she wonders if her insides might look la dat too.

K~den Dr. says have you ever had a bone density scan? “No.” Well since you’re hear you may as well get it done. Fine. Another machine you just lie on da “flatbed” and this big arm dilly with a camera scans you from head to toe. Did you know that 1 out of every 2 women of menopausal age is suseptable to osteoperosis? And I think its 1 outta 4 men.

Oh yeah if you are Asian ancestry you are more likely to get osteoperosis (sp?). I read dat poster over over in my Drs office. I learned that what causes that hunch back hump, in elderly people is really tiny fractures in the spine that cause the bones of the spine to collaspe in that hunched over posture. Scarey, yeah. Dirnk your milk ladies and do weight bearing exercises. Doesn’t have to be heavy. Can be 2 can goods or 5lbs weights. Something betta den notting.

True story about about a bad back:
My Unco (funny buggah must be in our blood) thru out his back. He coughed really hard, throwing himself forward anden he couldn’t straighten up. Well it so bad dat he had to go emergency la dat. So den he had to go chiropractor regularly. What he find out was; he was born he was born with one less…. is it the vertabrate? One less bone in his spine then regular people. My Unco is kinda on da peetote side (another “must be in our blood”). Anyway he started to tell people that was the reason he was short and should have been at least 3 or 4 moe inches taller if he had that other “vertebrate.”

Well wen he told da story to my Grandma/his Mom he wen make da story even moe “colorful” (ditto~”must be in our blood”). He explained to her wot the doctor told him anden he asked her “MA, wot you did wit my bone? You wen make soup hah I bet. Us was so poo-wah soooo many kids, no had food; you wen make sabao, I tink.” *L*

Ai she got so upset, he wen accuse her of making soup with his bones. She took it serious and neva tink was funny. Even years latah somebody bring up dat story, hoooo da haboot face and mean makas make you shuddup fast.*L*
