Yeah I knew that.. I meant one of those little square things, like I had to have when they X-rayed my back a couple of months ago.

X-Ray for when I broke my wrist in fifth grade. Though I've had all of those.

I had a combination of those a few years ago. I was comming out of a bar when i got lamped one from behind and got the shit kicked out of me as i lay on the ground. I had a concussion, broken cheekbone, fractured jaw, broken nose and cracked ribs. I was in kinda of a mess.

X-Ray, they were checking if my arm was broken in 3rd grade... I jumped off a swing at it's highest point and landed on my face. Ow.

i had an x ray on my legs to determine if it was worth straightening the birth defect that caused them to not sit straight in my joint...

although it means i have an ever so slight limp i have a kick ass party trick where i can turn my leg counter clockwise and sit it under my ribs

the guys go "AWESOME" the girls "EWWW, do it again!!!" lol

Mine was a CT, taken two hours ago. It really gets interesting when you wonder if the giant white donut will stop rotating towards you before or after it crushes your torso into a bloody pulp.

Why the CT scan? Hope it's nothing serious.

I keep getting nosebleeds (really serious ones) and this shows all the blood vessels, and which ones are broken, or something like that.

As for a pre-birth ultrasound, no, it doesn't count, as most people have had one (methinks).

Why? Do you pick your nose too much?

I never do. For some reason, many of the blood vessels in my nose are bloated and very big, the amount of blood is too much for them, and they pop. I'm getting surgery in a year to correct this (three cheers for the speed of Canada's health care system: Hip Hip Fuck You, Hip Hip Fuch You, Hip Hip Fuck You).

Mine was X-Ray.

And I got those nice CRT scans of my head. Should scan them in sometime <g>

Then thank nose you're not in Australia. The waiting list for elective ear/nose/throat surgery was 3 years 4 years ago, I'd hate to see it now!
