Spine scan

Nothing. Except a morning in the area near MoBap. In the morning I was injected with a radio label (quizzed the guy injecting me about the biochem aspects, nerd!), then once I realized I wouldn't have time to get back to work I decided to run a few errands. Picked up the extra Xray CD needed by MoBap, went next door to Aldi, bought teff and masa harina at the Intl Grocery, then back for imaging. More on the new foods later.

The extra copy of the CD had the radiologists report that I didn't see before. :Interpretation: There is a mild anterior wedging of the bodies of T8 and T9. There are no findings of an acute compression fracture. There is no evidence of a paraspinal mass. The pedicles are intact. Opinion: 1. Mild anterior wedging of the bodies of t* and t( thought to represent minimal old compression-type fractures. There are no acute fractures seen. 2. The alignment is normal."

The scan was cool, just got to relax on the table for an hour. Not cool, however, was the distinct and focal white spot I could see in the scan. Of course I don't know how to interpret that, except to know that "white" means "something" along the lines of a healing stress fracture?

Like my sis said afterwards, they shouldn't run tests on Fridays.

I'm having minimal pain, so I'm running long tomorrow. My trail partner however is injured with calf muscle problem. So I'm on my own for the 2nd week in a row.

The masa harina is a lye-treated corn flour, I'm hoping it will be easier to digest. I already think the teff works for me since I can eat injera. Just the corn has FODMAP limits. So we'll see!
