AHH SAWZALL lol @Kolunatic how much to do you cringe when you see another trades person with a sawz all in their hand lol When I did HVAC before the military we would watch them like a hawk . Can't tell you how many times our thermostat lines were cut or the sparkys there were the other side of the house for us had wires cut by a carpenter etc LOL

Good evening. Had my first MRI today and hope it was my last. Didn't think I was claustrophobic but came close to panicking several times. Only thing that kept me from moving or squeezing the punch out button was the fear of starting all over again. Hope it was worth it and the news is good.

 

Hope all is good Mike!

 

I think it's pretty good to have made it this long without ever having one before now.

 

You know if you get your self tired enough you can fall asleep in an MRI ..Been there done that the girl was amazed I did lol I told her work 3 back to back 16 hour shifts get off at midnight and get up at 5 to be in an MRI at 0700 you will fall asleep lol

When I had my MRI done for herniated discs in my neck, I kept my eyes closed the entire time. Not even a slight peak because I didn't want to flip out in there. I could definitely feel them raising/moving the table and sensed my nose was very close to the machine.

 

I hear ya man, this new math just ain't right.

Happy birthday!

 

I've had two - one on each knee. Only legs went in the machine... not sure how I'd handle the head going in

x2 took my neck pillow since I have to have one under my neck - and was tired and slept through the whole thing. Tech was surprised. I was glad I slept. First time there was no noise but the machine. Tech didn't tell me how much time had passed and how much was left I started moving one finger up and down, didn't move the hand, was grounded on my chest - it was that or freak out. Tech yelled @ me "I told you to keep perfectly still" Finger is no where near my knee

^ this and keep slow, deep breathing

 

MRI Chambers put me to sleep instantly !!

 

How did you get a strainer in your eye to begin with,. Ha ha. Normally the eye clinic is the only good one in the VA
Am sure you like a devil dog in your bifocals

 

Never fun. Have had many. I am a wide person and just fit. And my back it hurts to lay like that

 

My bifocals are an improvement to my looks I am told

 

My old job which was a heavy equipment diesel mechanic I had metal constantly being removed from my r/eye and welding flash burns in that eye also . this left me with a large blood stain that is very close to my pupil . this needs to be removed very soon as its affecting my eyesight

For my new glasses I'm getting some nice color darkening invisiline bifocals lens mounted on a very nice flexible frame
