X-RAY

During my journey to fitness (you can read here) I ran into a bit of trouble with my knees.  Well, not really trouble but PAIN!  Lots of it.  After about a month of putting up with it, I thought I should find out if I was doing more harm than good.

Off to the doc's office.  

X-ray's were recommended to check for arthritis...which she really thought was a NON issue.  But I really wanted to rule it out completely.

Off to the x-ray office. 

 I was shocked at how I had to be a contortionist just to have my knees x-rayed.  

Turn this way, 

bend your knee that way

 but not your hips,

 ok, 

now hold that position

 while I walk away 

from the radiation 

that is so very dangerous, 

while you balance yourself 

in that very awkward position

and get zapped 

by thousands of cancer causing

rays of radiation

until I decide to return!

Good news?  No arthritis :)
