IR: Magnetom

So last night I had my MRI test. If you are not familiar with this, it is a high intensity 3D scan mainly to pick up anything that a standard X-Ray or Cat scan could not.

I have to thank Jenny so much for taking me to the exam and treating me later to a Sonic Blast. Mmmmm Mmmm!

The machine was extremely loud, but I didn't have to deal with it for that had some very nice headphones and allowed me to have music paying during the procedure. I also lucked out in having only my knee scanned because I am not Claustrophobic, but I think a freak out might happen if I was in there head first. Hopefully we will never find out.

The procedure was a series of scans range from 5 to 9 minutes long totaling 45 minutes. Again the music and headphones really helped.

When it was all over my back and neck was killing me. My knee was still weak, but not as bad as the rest of my body for a short period of time. Hard, flat tables with one not so soft pillow really suck.

Now I have to wait until Monday to see what the results where and what the next step will be.

Hoping for the best.
