Musical MRI - Five Minute Freewrite
Musical MRI
I wasn't expecting the MRI to be so long, or so loud. Thankfully, I'm not claustrophobic because the scan lasted 40 minutes and consisted of numerous small scans. Each scan was rhythmic, almost like music. The technician provided me with ear plugs. I didn't anticipate how loud the sound in the tube would sound, even with the ear plugs. Other than the space age humming and chunk chunk noises, the only sound was the technician advising the length of the next scan. Some scans were four minutes, others six and back to five.
I have a follow up appointment scheduled at the orthopedic doctor for October 24th to discuss MRI results and determine if I am a candidate for hip orthoscopy to treat the femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). This condition creates all the sciatica pain. If the arthritis is not too progressed, Dr. Deimel will probably schedule surgery.
One day at a time, my mother alway said.

An MRI? Don't think I've ever had one of these.
Don't they make your drink some sort of slightly radioactive beverage before going in?
Radioactive drinks are very healty, after 2 years of assumption my tentacles have never been so alive.
LOL ewwww

That is a cat scan
Hello, my friend! Long time no see. No, I didn't have to drink anything. The process just seemed to last forever and ever!

Hope the results are in your favor!!
Thank you, I hope so. I'm at the endocrinologist for my yearly screening today. I'm so sick of doctor offices etc! Migraines kicked in this weekend and yesterday in spite of the botox. Arggh! I was in bed last night by 6:30 p.m. I hope all is well your way.

I had one of those not long ago and it really is a clunk, clunk, clunk rhythmic beat!
Hope all works out the way that you hope that it does.
Thank you, my dear!

Hi Janelle, finger crossed for the outcomes! I wonder why those mri have to sound like industrial washing machines..
You know, it does sound like that.

MRI stake too long for me! I a claustrophobic so the combo of closed space and noise really gets to me...
I am glad we don't have to get many! I can handle the closed space but the length and noises I was so over!
