The Semi-Bionic Man

We joke sometimes about how wonderful modern technology is. Perhaps as 'payback' for our joking and sarcasm, we were blessed with a week long opportunity to experience the wonders of modern medical technology upclose and personal for a full week this month.
CT scans, EKGs, blood pressure, blood sugar (4 times a day), endless blood samples (the hospital is secretly operated by a group of vampires), ultrasound test (3), x-rays, apnea monitoring, - the list goes on and on. At times we felt like a used car getting it's annual inspection and emissions tests.
The results? All good news - no medical problems other than really needing to loose weight and exercise more. And, all joking aside, the technology really is wonderful, and getting better all the time.
