Bajio's Giveaway

Edited to fix my french error - I'm blaming it on the TSH. Boy, that's a handy deal.

Unfortunately, being radioactive does not give you that certain "je ne sais quoi," you know that lovely 'glow'. That fake-baked from the inside out sort of luminescence. It doesn't even make you glow in the dark.

Which is too bad really, because it would be a cool party trick and I'd be sure to impress all my kids' friends.

The little blue pill I swallowed on Tuesday (which, by the way, the photo of it mysteriously disappeared from my camera), came in this lovely lead bucket.

The blue harness is what the lead bucket sits in. I suppose they don't want that puppy dropping and spilling the juice inside. That thing was heavy.

All that for a little pill that the tech wouldn't touch, but expected me to swallow. He then told me not to eat anything for at least an hour. That way if I ate something that didn't agree with me and then got sick, it wouldn't necessitate a hazardous waste cleanup.

And also, there is a warning at the bottom of the guidleines sheet he gave me that states if I were to die or be hospitalized in the next three days that someone had better notify their office. Again, I assume it has something to do with radioactive exposure and toxic cleanups, etc. (I'm wondering does that sort of thing happen often?)

Did I mention that I swallowed that thing?

In honor of the little blue pill, I'm offering up a contest. I need at least 15 different commenters here for it to be valid, so tell your friends. I'm trying to keep it interesting and this is the best way to amuse myself.

It's like an office pool. In your comment say whether you think I still have the danged cancer or not (according to the scan and blood work) and a guess for what date and time they'll get around to telling me. The closest guess wins.

I am scheduled to have my scan tomorrow at 5pm, but there is a possibility that they may move it up.

What's up for grabs? Why a $20 gift card to Bajio's - the first place I'm going to eat at when I'm done with the low iodine thing. If you don't have a Bajio's near you, then we'll talk and find a different gift card for you.

You do not need to have a blog to enter, just leave your email address in your comment if you don't have a blog. Canadians feel free to comment. One comment per person. If you've just been lurking, now's your time to delurk and win a night out. May the best guess win.

Also, no pressure or anything, but there better be at least a comment or two on this one - I'm in serious need of amusement.;)
