    Tomorrow, at 9:00 local time, I go to my MRI test. Its very strange. A part of me is confident, completely without fear, at peace yet snarling defiance at whatever may come. The other is over there in the corner, cowering. Tomorrow will come and we shall see what hides within the confines of my cranium along with my brain. I had to share. Thanks.

                    Boy those machines are really scary. You shouldn't worry about it though. They make a really, really loud, scary noise, suddenly, when you're least expecting it. You have to lie perfectly still though. Or else they'll have to do it all over again. You shouldn't worry about it though. If you move during the scan, even a tiny bit, there is a chance they could mis-diagnose you as having a Brain-Cloud. Then you have to go off on a long boring journey, get shipwrecked, and jump into a Volcano. You shouldn't worry about it though. It was a very long time ago that I had one. They found nothing, and I am confident that it will be the same for you. Seriously, Mustafa, I hope everything goes OK. :rose: I will be thinking about you at that time tomorrow. Don't worry I will not forget, it's about the time the Grand Prix starts. :laugh:

                          Good luck, Mustafa :rose:. The procedure itself is mostly boring and somewhat uncomfortable. I had one on my shoulder a year ago after I wrecked my bicycle (I did an endo over the handlebars and landed on it). I spent 20 minutes in, 5 minutes out, 25 minutes in, 5 minutes out, and then 45 minutes in for mine. They seriously need to build those things with an automatic nose scratcher, because as soon as the technician tells you "hold still for the next 20 minutes", your nose will itch like it's infested with rabid fleas.

                            Hi Mustafa, Good luck ! I've had multiple head MRI's; imho the procedure itself is "a walk in the park." I found them actually kind of fun, like visiting an alien theme park, or watching a re-run of "Forbidden Planet." The fear I had concerned what the MRI would tell me, and what that would mean for my life. But with one exception, the first, the results were good. And the other real fear was the medical bills ! People's reactions to various aspects of medical technology fascinate me : for some reason I kept the custom plastic head mask (used during radiation treatment sessions to protect areas that don't need to be irradiated, and for immobilizing the head, and precisely aligning the radiation beam) they made for me in the trunk of my car; I had this fantasy I would have it painted by a local (Chiang Mai, Thailand) artist with flowers and insects, and mount it on the wall. Every time I put on the mask and got my head immobilized, I felt like reciting poetry, unfortunately I couldn't do that since I didn't want to risk a fake diagnosis of poesia and be told I needed a musectomy :) By chance I gave a ride to a woman who had also undergone similar cancer treatment, and for some reason I opened the trunk of the car with her next to me before we got in the car (probably to retireve my valuables). She saw the mask and really freaked out : turned out for her going in, putting on the mask, and having her head immobilized was psychologically traumatic. For me it was fine. best, Bill (oral cancer survivor)

                            "Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

                              Good luck Mustafa, The test itself is not bad but waiting on the results is terrible. Hope everything comes back OK. Have you studied for the test? :) Sorry couldn't resist Good luck, Mike

                                I just had one on my shoulder. I told my wife it was like an $1100 bed-and-breakfast without the breakfast. It ended quicker than I was expecting. I had headphones to listen to the radio. All in all it was far from unpleasant.

                                  Was this one of the 'open' MRI's? My shoulder MRI (described in my post above) didn't allow anything like that (I asked).

                                    Tomorrow, at 9:00 local time, I go to my MRI test. Its very strange. A part of me is confident, completely without fear, at peace yet snarling defiance at whatever may come. The other is over there in the corner, cowering. Tomorrow will come and we shall see what hides within the confines of my cranium along with my brain. I had to share. Thanks.

                                    Good luck! I hope they find something obvious, easy to fix (take two aspirin and call me in the morning), and which explains everthing you've been experiencing. :)

                                          It looked somewhat like this.
