Best excuse, EVER

I'm in the process of having many medical tests done.

The latest is a heart test called a MUGA scan. I just called to schedule the appointment. They were apologetic because they had to put the test off until late next week.

Until then, they are low on radioactive isotopes.

silliness, health

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUGA_scan

A MUGA scan (Multi Gated Acquisition Scan) is a nuclear medicine test to evaluate the function of the heart ventricles. It is also called Radionuclide Angiography, and also Gated Blood Pool Imaging. It provides a movie-like image (also known as a cine image) of the beating heart, and allows the doctor to determine the health of the heart’s major pumping chambers. The advantages of MUGA is that it is more accurate than an echocardiogram.
