Wrist MRI was last night

Myke's 'blob.

Wrist MRI was last night Mon, Nov 30. 2009

MRI Tech: Can you put your arm over your head?
Myke: Uh, yes...?
MRI Tech: Can you lay on your stomach?
Myke: err... Yes?
MRI Tech: Put your hand in here.
Myke: ∗puts∗
MRI Tech: ∗clamps the damn vice down on it∗
MRI Tech: How's that?
Myke: ∗Wince∗ It's... sucky, but I'll live
MRI Tech: Okay - try not to move.
MRI: ∗bwong bwong bwong∗
Myke: ∗trying to not move while breathing on stomach in a Village People dance pose∗
(Towards the end, I could feel twitches and spasms in my arm & fingers, I was quite concerned that might screw things up.)
MRI: ∗stops∗
MRI Tech: All done! ∗unclamps my hand∗
Myke: That is one angry wrist.
MRI Tech: Oh yeah... err... probably eh? But that coil really helps the imaging.
Myke: So it was good?
MRI Tech: Yes, great images.
Myke: Good, I was worried, I felt my arm & hand move during the scan, I was worried that it screwed things up. (This is likely a 3.0 Telsa machine)
MRI Tech: Oh no no, we actually stimulate the nerves, very strong signals. But very good images. Don't worry.
Myke: Cool - Can I see them?
MRI Tech: Sure!
(I had no idea what I was seeing, nothing really obvious, sorry) (tho they did look damn cool)

2-3 Weeks for Radiologist's report. I'll be requesting the 'films' from that too. Stay tuned.

No problem, like I said, 2-3 weeks... (at least, that's what they tell me)

No pics, because I was banned from taking snapshots of the hospital-gown-clad subject ;-) It had three arm holes!

Too bad you don't have 3 arms, you'd at least have a spare!

Funny, if I'd had one arm, I'd've said the same thing about having 2.

Unhand me! Oh wait, too late.

I wish, no, they want $50 for 'em... "but get a note from your doctor, then we can release them to you for free." "but they're for my own personal archive, my doctor doesn't need them" "Of course, but if you get a note from your doctor, it doesn't cost anything." "But... OOOOOOOH. Gotcha."
