I have a trunk to keep all that stuff in. Don't want to recycle them just yet, they're all x-rays of some of my dogs and horses and I like to look through them every now and again, that way I don't forget how to read them and what the problems were. And they're like souvenirs to me. So far I don't have any of my own.... we never get to keep any of our own x-rays here. Most of the time you have to ask to look at them when the doctor gets them.

Found a nice big roll of bubble wrap... I can go wrap you up anytime now
Unfortunately, most imaging centers (in this area anyway), have you take possession of the films. I have a ton of them from 2006 up till now. You are not supposed to dispose of them in a landfill because of the mercury in them. There are commercial businesses that will take them and recycle for a fee, but I'll be darned if I'll pay to have them destroyed. Next time I go by the imaging center in town, I'm going to stop in and ask if they will take them for disposal. The last couple of MRI's that I had tho, were given to me on digital disc, so most every place is getting rid of those big and heavy films.

Where was family during all this? And Wolfy and kits? Did you have any helpers - human or furkids? Stuff like this always seems worse when we are alone.
Family was here and outside when I did it, and they were getting ready to host a gathering of about 30 people for a luau/bbq/birthday bash. My son and his girlfriend had to stay here at the house, since people were due to start arriving at about the same time I went skidding. Wolfy was on the bed watching me, and then wondering why Mom was acting rather strange and saying bad words, and who knows where the felines were. I was fine to drive to the walk-in clinic - once the bleeding was under control. And by the time I got back home - all the prep work for the bbq was all done, guests had arrived, and I could now just sit back and eat and enjoy the rest of the day!
