Thanks man. Well it totally sucked balls in honesty. Laying there with this horrible resonant frequency vibrating. It wasnt even a nice deep one like my car stereo puts out. mad.gif

Oh well, it's over. At least they had headphones, and a couple of Social Distortion songs came on so it was all good smile.gif

MRI's aren't bad?

WTF ever.

My first one was horrifying. Imagine stuffing my 270 pound frame into a KOREAN MRI machine. I felt like a photon torpedo being stuffed in a launch tube. My shoulders were all pushed in, stomach hitting the top, can't even focus my eyes because it's so small. And my luck, I had headphones, but they were the kind you use on the airlines that have vaccum hoses and I could bearly hear the beach boys they were playing over it.

For 45 minutes.

*Shudder*

Only one I had that wasn't bad was a open air one here at the VA Medical Center.

Yeah I had to get 2 MRI's in the past two years. One for my shoulder, and one for an ankle. They put you in the most uncomfortable position everrrr. And oh yeah, try having Restless Leg Syndrome and ADHD and having to not move a muscle for 45 min... Haha its like a nightmare.

And to make things worse, the only station they played was country.... ah its like a really bad dream going to get an MRI lol.

Well I guess its lucky me, I can't get an MRI do to the fact that I have to many metal parts inside my body, in my spine, hip, left leg and left arm so its only cat scans for me all the time wich suck just as bad, I was crazy in my younger years but I'm paying for it now.
