CT scan planned

In my next life, I am destined to become a supermodel. I base this theory on the simple fact that my person has been highly photographed over the last couple of years. I laugh at the thought of Tyra, Giselle, Linda and the rest cozying up so close to Canon and Nikon that every pore of their skin is revealed in all its cavernous glory. Heck, every fractional inch of me - both inside and out - has been under so many lenses of late that I can likely out vogue any so-called supermodel faster than you can say "cover shot" (bonus: images from my photo sessions don't have to undergo the embarrassment of PhotoShop touch-ups). Even so, it seems the health care professionals can't see enough of me. On October 14, I will undergo a day-long session at the CT scanning dept at St Mary's Hospital in Sechelt. I will be checked in at 8am and leave the facility some time around 2 or 2:30pm. Apparently I'll be spending most of the time bonding with Ivy in order to hydrate as much as possible both before and after the scan. Seems this is necessary as the dye is very hard on the kidneys and hydration reduces the chance of injury to those organs. Can only hope there are washroom facilities nearby.
