  • Last night while at work we were talking about MRI's and how the whole enclosed experience is pretty claustrophobic.  I was saying about how the guy that was doing the MRI kept trying to talk to me and ask me how I was doing.  I kept thinking to myself I wish he would just hurry the hell up and get this done!  lol


    Well, this morning on my way home I decided to treat myself to a Breve at the drive-thru coffee wagon.  Ah!  just what the nurse ordered. I was cold after having cleaned ice and snow off of my truck.  As I was pulling away and headed out into the main flow of traffic I found that my wheels were spinning and I wasn't going to be able to pull out safely without possibly getting hit by an oncoming car.  So, I stopped, put my truck in reverse and back up into someone's car.  The guy that did my MRI!  ARGGGGHHH!!!!


    Luckily no damage at all to my truck, his car ended up with a cracked grill, looked like some kind of plastic the way it had cracked.


     


    I'm going to start walking everywhere!!!!!

  • Well... at least you knew the guy you hit.  Sorta.   :)  

    As far as MRIs go... boy... they do bring out the claustrophobia, that's for sure!  I'm not even claustrophobic and I damn near freaked out during mine.  I had to keep my eyes shut as every time I opened them and saw that the "ceiling" as it were, was just a few inches off my nose I'd about lose my mind. 

    The bad thing about shutting the eyes was that I kept falling asleep.  (My appt. was at 0530!)  Which wouldn't be bad except that every time the machine made that thunking noise, I'd damn near crawl outta my own skin... I was afraid I was going to mess up the MRI by jumping and have to do it all over!  Noooooooooooooooooooo!   :)

  • Probably plastic...

  • How heavy on the irony is that?

    I've never been in that small of an area before, so I don't know how I'd react to one.

  • I missed something... why did you have an MRI?

  • I had an MRI last June because I hurt my back while lifting a patient at work.  I have a couple herniated discs in my lumbar region.  Pain and numbness, what joy!
