A veritable plethora of scribbled tsatskes

Monday, January 19
Happy New Year y'all. I thought I'd drop some post-hospital action on ya. Had a bit o' a wrangle with my thyroid glands. Like the rebel forces there apparently are hidden pockets still living amongst the other, healthier, non-mutant tissues of my body. Had to go radioactive on them with some Radioactive Iodine (Isotope 131, or I-131) to be exact. Got to spend a lovely 3 day sojourn in Room 3217 (Oncology Ward!) of the Northridge Hospital Medical Center (a Catholic HealthWest facility!) in the lovely San Fernando Valley. Otherwise known as...SUBVERVIA!!!!

'Twas like being on vacation in Hawaii. Except for that instead of being underneath the sun, lying on the beach with something alcoholically frosty in my hand lazing the day away, I lazed the day away EMITTING rays myself with a glass of tepid water on the crash cart next to my bed. Still - I slept. I watched Food Channel. I read Entertainment Weekly.

Interesting thing being radioactive, I have to admit. Anticlimactic in ways because nothing is obvious to the naked eye that there is anything...different....about me. I felt very much like a mutant from the X-Men (a la Rogue).
