RE: Game 1 - Guess the date of the next major RNS:-28 Jun 2022 20:52
Good evening all,
I got my MRI scan at 09:15 this morning, the first time I have had one only on my jaw, to do this you lay on the MRI table with a special head-shaped holder, you put your head in the holder, and they wedge it in with rubber wedges, and then place the corresponding front half on top, so you resemble "The man in the iron mask"
They provide ear plugs because the noise of the electro-magnets is so loud, no problem with that, then they give you a rubber bulb to squeeze to attract their attention if you have a problem.
The table then retracts back into the rotating electro-magnets, but, the cable got caught around the machine and the bulb was dragged out of my hand!
Still no problem, but they wedged my head so it could not move at all, no problem, but they want to MRI my lower jaw,
Have you ever tried to hold your jaw tightly shut for 45 min, without ever moving, it was impossible, muscle spasms set in, and they had to do it all over again due to a blurred image ....
So 1.5 hours in total for MRI without contrast dye and repeat with contrast dye, to be fair I even nearly fell asleep on the table with the hypnotic beat of the MRI machine, the electro-magnets are so strong, even the metal table bed shudders in sympathy when they are energised, sort of rocking you to sleep!
Anyway, it would have been helpful if they had put a rubber band from the top of your head to under your chin to stop any involuntary movements, but that is now out of the way and done.
Today's hopeful was -
