"Beautiful Kidney" would also be a good name for a band.

(Along with Cardiac Dyescan, and their opening act Jiggle the Handle.)

That, however, is what I was told I've got, after the CT-Renal came and went, starting just over two hours ago.

Not even a clothes change was required (although we did discover a hitherto-unknown zipper in the drawstring shorts I've been wearing for close to two years), and the trip inside the Tunnel of Love was brief and painless.  It is a bit weird, having the machine talk to you. It's HAL-ish looking to begin with, and when it told me to hold my breath, I waited nervously the first time to be sure I was told to release the breath, not "I'm afraid I can't do that, Ray" when I started to turn blue.

Then came a brief wait for the radiology MD- she who called off the previous act last week- to confirm that the pictures were okay. Officially, she's only supposed to verify that they were okay from an imaging standpoint, but after last week's ordeal, she spilled the beans on me that the stone(s) be gone and that everything looked good.

I even got a referral to a urologist for more long-term planning.

So thank gods THAT's over:)

As they most appropriately say in my part of the world, Wicked Pissah!
