A little over a month ago I got an MRI to figure out what was wrong with my back.

A little over a month ago I got an MRI to figure out what was wrong with my back. Turns out it was a slipped disc but also...

"...when we were reading the results of your MRI, we noticed that your spleen was bigger than normal"

To which I thought, "Lady, have you seen me? Everything is bigger than normal on me."

"This usually isn't a big deal, but we'd like you to get an ultrasound of your abdomen to confirm what the MRI is showing."

I looked it up and it's true, an enlarged spleen isn't usually a sign of anything bad, certainly not on its own. Since the back was the more pressing issue, I put off the ultrasound until yesterday.

"Well, your spleen has this little extra lump of tissue but that's not a problem, some people have that and some don't and it's not a big deal. Your spleen is a bit larger than normal, but given how tall you are that's probably fine too."

So all that rigmarole to tell me what I already knew and they couldn't even tell me it's gender. (I mean, I'm assuming male, but it'd be nice to have confirmation).

  1. Will you have a gender reveal party, or crowdsource names?

  2. Joanne McLernon Probably no gender reveal party unless I get lots of neat stuff from it. Considering the "crowd" who would be sourcing the names, I'll give that a miss. Spleeny McSpleenface would probably be the nicest of the bunch.
