You're both bastards.   :censored:

 :rotf: :rotf:

Before all these new inventions in the past I went to a military hospital for very bad headaches,  They decided to X-ray my skull to find the problem.

After the procedure I was waiting in the hall for the results when about 5 doctors came running in to the X-ray room.

Seems that the x-ray tech had left a film in the machine, when they did my test it became a double exposure.    My x-ray showed that I had a knee cap in my head.

Fortunately the tech gave me that X-ray to take home and back light it in a frame so when Hubby told me I was not thinking right, I could point to the picture and tell him I had a good reason for a---- Knee Jerk reaction.

Strange things can happen in any hospital, this was the perhaps the strangest thing to happen to me, and the best remembered thing for my kids.  I still to this day have that X-ray and the kids tell me that when I pass on that will be part of their life experiences with me.

I go in at 7 a.m. tomorrow (Wed.) and I'm guessing the procedure will probably start 7:30-8:00 depending on how long it takes them and me to prep.  Should take about 30 minutes.  Then I get to recover from the sedative, come home, recover more from the sedative and hopefully be back to normal at some point.

jinxie, this is the first I have heard... hoping and praying for the best.

I've had 3 breast mris... omg, the first one was not good. I did not take a decent breath for 20 minutes. I thought I was going to passout.

My CT went fine.  It was over in about 10 minutes and I only had to hold my breath twice for about 15 seconds each.



I'm totally fighting making an inappropriate comment regarding your MRIs.



*ahem*



I'd better go to bed so I don't.   :uhsure:

Dammit.  I can't help myself!


I'm going to forgo getting a keepsake video of my procedure.  Did you get a keepsake video of your MRIs, Schade?
