oh, an MRI can be other than boring.
Imagine you have lost your sense of balance, have an hellacious headache, are constantly nauseated, appear to be having thermal regulation problems... and as a consequence get slapped into a hospital.
Due to a comedy of errors (and it IS funny... NOW) you get diagnosed with terminal/inoperable brain tumor and slapped into the cancer "exit lounge".
Then you get an MRI.
You still have that headache, mind you, so that damned GNG!GNG!GNG!GNG!GNG!GNG!GNG!GNG! the machine makes is really horrible.
This goes on for 70 minutes.
THEN, the techs exclaim "THAT can't be right!" accuse you of having moved while being scanned, then lock your head in one of those "halo" abominations, and run it again.
oh, yes: MRIs can be ever so exciting.
btw: it yielded exactly the same results with "halo" as without.
Being in the scanner isn't much fun, I can vouch for that. I hope I never get to wear the halo.
OMG...if that happened to you, you have my sympathy.
I hate to say this but I fall asleep during MRIs.
During my second one, I told the tech to stop waking me up just to inform me that the "sounds" were going to change.
The "open" MRIs are what bug me.
It hovers right over my eyes and I can't see much but I *can* see just enough to keep *trying* to see past the bottom of that stupid plastic helmet thingy.
*That* made me claustrophobic whereas the "tube" never did.
Mine were scheduled for 7:15am. I dragged feet into the clinic because I didn't get much sleep the night before wondering how things would turn out.
MRI specialist told me to lay on the bed and relax, so I did, and took a catnap for about an hour. I couldn't hear the loud noise it made, but I could feel the vibrations.
Darkchylde can relate! :)
My body just felt like it was vibrating afterward. LOL I fell asleep during my MRI scan. They had me all the way inside the tube with a little yellow night light at the end.
