That's the only thing you see ultrasound scans for on t'telly, anyway. But it's obvious that being able to see things inside people will work for other things, except everyone has X-rays for that. Or MRIs. Or biopsies. Or lots of things. So it feels a bit weird having an ultrasound scan and not being told I'm pregnant ( Read more... )

I had a blood test, which showed up a potential liver problem. There were two options:

1) There was a serious problem with my liver.
2) I'm fat.

Place your bets!

Or 3) you have a fat liver? PATE NUM NUM

2) implies 3).

And actually, no. I had to not eat or drink from midnight, although small sips of water were allowed. This sucks, because I can actually drink a swimming pool and not wee for three hours. I'm really, really good at that. Although I probably have no kidneys left, as a result. I once spent 4 hours on the phone to someone. Wanted a wee at about hour 1. The urge just went away by hour 3.
