An interesting day...

 Today I had a CT scan.  It was a very simple straight forward procedure because they were only scanning my neck.  I just laid down, put my head in a little head brace, held my breath a few times and it was over.  Great. While I was at the hospital I also had a blood test, easy, and both of my knees x-rayed.  The x-rays were a different matter.  No pain of course, but a very strange series of snapshots. I lost count after 20 or so.  I went in assuming that I would just lie down on a hard flat surface (I will not dignify it with the name bed) hold still and let the tech (he was a jolly sort who reminded me of Santa) take a few pictures.  But no.  He did take a few pictures while I was lying down but many more sitting, leaning and even on the 'bed' on my hands and knees so he could get views of the back of my knees.  Not a pretty picture in so many ways.
