Never a dull moment....

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.



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!

I'm just amazed that you get all your films and even scans back-- if we try to look at them while they are in the fixer they just turn it off... very strange regulations since they should belong to us. I guess it would be a problem if you want to dispose of them though

See, there was a bright side to that accident--- you got out of helping set things up, got home , put your feet up and just enjoyed the food
I know helping would have been much better, right kiddo..? I'll have to send you a good luck horseshoe to keep you safe.

For years, I have worn a gold guardian angel coin pendant - I never take it off unless I have to for an x-ay or if I'm in the hospital. Problem is, I do believe that she has gone to sleep after all these years, or she simply gave up on me and chalked me up as a lost cause.
