CT Scan photo!

So, dear friends, you will have to excuse me.  I worked for 17 years as an environmental engineer at a very large wastewater treatment plant in LA, and ever since, I have absolutely zero sensitivity to anything gross.  I have been covered head to toe in shit (from an 8” sludge line pipe flange burst).  After that…nothing grosses me out.  So, I’m going to post some photos you may not want to see.  Just browse over.    A picture does speak a thousand words, and takes a lot less time to explain things.  

So. this is kinda gross, but it's a slice of my CT scan from 6/29/2016.  The white object at the bottom middle is my spine.  The gray object at the top right of it (say about 1:00 or 1:30 o'clock) is one of my enlarged lymph nodes.  It is close to 10 cm diameter.  It's supposed to be the size of a thumbnail.  I have two of these like this, at least.  The black stuff in the upper left are my intestines.  You can see how at the middle top they have blown through the abdominal wall (the white wall around my innards).   That is my hernia from the emergency surgery in February.  

Probably TMI.  But, I'm an open book...and now, an open abdomen.
