View Full Version : Dang!
JohnR 09-18-2024, 07:29 AM Having some fairly routine testing over the next couple days and the tests is primarily a heart stress test. So I went in this morning for the first imaging and a contrast and they call it the nuke test. They pumped me full of this radioactive material called technisium.
So I get home and I want to see how radioactive I am, and I have a Geiger counter for testing old watches. My Geiger counter is going absolutely insane. I am currently about 7000 times more radioactive than the background radioactivity typical to our area.

Your typing so I assume the test went ok….

wdmso 09-18-2024, 07:37 AM Have you checked to see if you Glow in the Dark?
hopefully they got the correct one.. Technetium-99m: Has a half-life of 6 hours
and not. Technetium-99: with a half-life of 210,000 years.:kewl:
tlapinski 09-18-2024, 07:37 AM Reading this I immediately have visions of the Simpsons character, Radioactive Man. Hope all is well, John!

had it done a dozen times before my bypass. It'll be gone in 24 hours.

What they said JR.
spence 09-18-2024, 09:36 AM Too bad they didn’t inject you with Information Technisium, then you could get my American Airlines App to install properly on my iPhone.
I’ve got a piece of Trinitite from the first atomic test, supposed to still be radioactive though I don’t have a way to read it.
Got Stripers 09-18-2024, 10:39 AM We all are enjoying our golden years right? Hope test results are encouraging and not stressful.
JohnR 09-18-2024, 11:35 AM Hahaha - thanks!
Stress test is tomorrow - today was the baseline.
F*ck that was a lot of radiation - down to almost half what I registered when I got home this morning
My watches do not get picked up by geiger several feet away. I currently register at 30 feet. Insane.

Hahaha - yes, former, not latter - I am the counting the half life on my Geiger, not my half life on my calendar.
Guppy 09-19-2024, 06:26 AM Good luck with the test John…
smart move, I had a blockage they fixed two days later… GB
PaulS 09-19-2024, 07:31 AM good luck w/the stress test today!

JohnR 09-19-2024, 08:08 AM Day two:
I have been irradiated yet again, I am able to telewarp myself three inches away from where I am right now. Unable to go any further than 3 inches. Kind of a let down SuperPower.

John I have had the test at least 10 times before bypass. I never had any after effects

HolySheeeit that is a lot of radiation, I was reading 800+ Microsieverts thru the belly - yes, I suppose it is safe, but damn! Only half the dose today
PaulS 09-19-2024, 09:50 AM Go find some people you dislike and wrap them in a long hug and tell them you feel like you should be doing that.
spence 09-19-2024, 10:23 AM When John got home he first measured radiation on his:
a) wrist
B) nose
C) wee wee
Poll will stay open until Monday.

I recommend watching the movie “Modern Problems”. You might gain some super powers
