Diagnose with Dinty


Throughout the last 6 months I have had a series of unfortunate medical diagnostic tests--one test leading to another, and then another. You could say the experience has reinforced my general dislike for visits to the doctor.

Of all the tests I've had to endure, tomorrow's test rates highest on the strange-o-meter. After fasting all morning, I need to bring two pieces of toast bread along with me to the appointment and then will need to eat a radioactive egg. Yup, you read right. This test will apparently show whether or not I am digesting in an appropriate amount of time.

What happens if you're allergic to eggs and you have to do the test? Why of course! You eat radioactive Dinty Moore Beef Stew instead. (!!??)

I would accuse you of making this up, but...you couldn't possibly make this stuff up.

Hoping the test goes well tomorrow. Bring good toast.

Unbelievable. Dinty, but very little dignity.

Pardon my French, but it sounds like you're in for a shitty day. Hope it all comes out in the end.

Mike was that meant to be a pun or something

Jackie, I hope everything went well and it's nothing serious.

Hi! IN your picture you're riding a horse - awesome! I have been amazingly horse crazy all my life - devoured books, worshiped from afar - until I got to take riding lessons!! I had to stop because we moved to Georga, (here) 8 months ago, but I hope to start up again really soon!! Good luck on your tests (maybe you should take a geiger counter along!!)
