The first concrete plan for January is to have myself admitted to the hospital for an RAI procedure. For three to four days, I must be isolated because I will be, get this, emitting radiation. Nobody is allowed to visit me and the nurses are to stay a specific distance away for health purposes. The thought of people unable to stay in the same room with me makes me feel powerful, in a way. In fact, I feel like a mutant member of the X-Men.It's going to be such a trip and I am scared and curious about what's going to happen.
I wonder if I'm allowed a cellphone. For all I know, the radiation could make me susceptible to metallic objects scraping across the floor and sticking to my body.
Still, I wonder if we should have helped him.

On our way to the hospital to schedule an ultrasound, a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He asked for money while proceeding to raise the cuff of his pants to reveal a rough and gangrened leg. His voice was so gruff, that my mom and I instinctively started walking faster. It was an unusually deserted alley and even though it was broad daylight, one can't be too sure nowadays. He started to follow us, all the while being softly threatening and insistent.Still, I wonder if we should have helped him.

Tejido would've probably bonked you in the head and cry in frustration.
What?! What do you need an RAI treatment for? Erm...what is it for generally? I have no idea.
