Not All MRIs Are Equal

Went for a brain/spine MRI with contrast today. I don’t mind MRIs, in fact I have to fight to stay awake while in there. But today’s MRI was a bit of a chore. Two hours long and with the technician not telling me when I could resume doing something, after telling me I could not do something, like swallowing, meant by the end of it I was really REALLY glad to get out of the tube.

The back of my head is still sore *whimpers*

Still it does give me the opportunity to use a picture I have had laying around for a while!

  1. I tend to fall asleep too … it’s that rhythmic noise … like being in the womb again … except for the contrast dye.

  2. Not to mention its s-o b-o-r-i-n-g.

    I want to get up and check on how the scan is going (and I did some computer imaging and image understanding AI work.)

    I’m so curious about the process, its hard to just lie there like a lump of lox.

  3. I read that as SOBOERING and wondered whether you drank much before an MRI because they make me full fast for 2 hours :)
