CT scan juice: officially the second most disgusting-tasting substance on earth (the first is the stuff they make you drink for a colonoscopy -- http://www.pbase.com/jason_daniel_anderson/image/86010128). The scary thing is, at 36 I already know these things.

I don't know why my side hurts so bad, but all they have to do is tell me there's more of this slop in my future and I'll get better real fast. Maybe that's the treatment.

Update on 5/30, I appear to be perfectly healthy, no evidence of what was causing the pain. Go figure.
