A kink in the plumbing
« on: January 03, 2007, 10:19:30 am »
Going in for an MRI in a few hours.  The idea of a giant magnet that can see inside my body and convert what it sees into data which can then be displayed on a computer screen, is nothing short of sorcery to me.  This is probably what all those Christians felt like in the 14th century.

Hopefully the doctors will be burned at the stake shortly afterwards.  Right after they give me their mystical healing potions.

Wish me luck!

Eww... By that I think he means he hopes everything "turns" out to be ok.

As do I.

I wish you luck my good buddy!

(It sounded weird saying "good luck my good buddy").

MRIs are fun.  I've had two MRIs, and one MRA.  Everyone complains about them being loud and confining...  I went to sleep.

Well, I'm now convinced I have telekinetic abilities.  I was 20 minutes into the thing and I thought "What if something goes wrong?"  About five minutes later the nurse walks in and says there was a "blip" in the readouts.  The machine malfunctioned and I have to go back in tomorrow.

The MRI itself isn't so bad, so much as the "No eating for 9 hours before the procedure" rule.  That part was hell.  I had a big breakfast at 8, and then drank water for the rest of the day.  And I get to do it all over again tomorrow.  :(

But they pumped me full of a radioactive isotope so they could see how fluid traveled through my urinary track.  That was kinda cool.

I love how Ana went from good luck to laughing at your misfortune in the space of a few posts :-P

Hope your, you know, bits, are okay

Nah, I was just laughing at how ridiculous that is. I feel bad for him, but it's one of those funny circumstances that you can't help not laughing at.

It really is kinda funny.  Not much I can do about it, so there's no point in getting upset.  I'll just take pleasure in the fantasy of my bending the rules of the matrix to break the MRI machine.  :)
