Still nothing exciting to report. Tomorrow's might be better since I'm going to see Superman Returns tonight...or not depending on the movie.

Yesterday I had a renal ultrasound. Nothing wrong, just mostly preventative since my grandmother had kidney cancer that is of the hereditary kind. That was some weird experience. I go in the room, which is dark and cold, and I lay on my left side first. She puts that goop on my side and what I called a big napkin under the waistband of my pants to keep from getting said goop on my pants. Then she says.."deep breath and hold...green". Green? I assumed that meant go and I let out this whoosh of breath. I guess the universal green sign was ok because she didn't tell me that I wasn't supposed to breathe out. Then the bad part. I'm such a short torso, I have a total of 2" between rib and hip bones, she has to take the pics through my ribs. This means she had to push for all she was worth and nearly cracked my ribcage! She told me I might bruise and/or be sore, which I am a little but nothing too bad.

The good part is that I was done before my scheduled appointment time and could go home for the day! I took like a 2 hour nap that was just heavenly.

Deep thought for the day:

I wish I had a kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula and Superman away.

Just in case Superman isn't all that good tonight....

Why don't you explain what a short torso is in a blog post? Not everyone is a t-tappppper.
