The MRI is now done. It took some 40 odd minutes to do, and no I didn't take my camera. Here in CANADA, it's a holiday this weekend. So I do know that my physician will have the results within two days from today. She may call me but I have an appointment with here on Tuesday. Thereafter I had done that I went to my dentist and he insisted that I have to make some decision with my back took within this week. I knew that there was much to much happening all at the same time, so I told him that I would tend to it within this week if not next week. I know this is not a case of life or death with my knees I just know that it's going to take some time - probably one week or two. It all depends on what they find. But if it's like a year ago, it will be injections and hopefully no need for cartilage implants to make for more of a cushion.
This MRI was rather neat. Although it's been getting cooler here. The mornings.....well the weather has just been so off in comparison to other years. But this MRI was interesting, there is nothing like placing that gown on and being nearly naked. So I went half way in, and they strap your knees so there is no movement. And then they gave me a head set. The choice was classical, and it took 45 minutes.
I forgot to take out this mint I had in my mouth and the darn thing got stuck in the on the roof of my mouth. I heard a voice say "Please say still". So then I pushed the button and one came and I just said do you have some tissue, and yeah I got rid of it. Then they presumed doing what they needed to do.
While I was in there or half way in there I was thinking about GE, there was a very good friend of my families while we were growing up that was a part of a "think tank" and designed some of the most advanced Ultra Sound and MRI machines at that time. His name was Teehan, I never knew him by his first name. After that by way of bad planning I went to an appointment with my dentist and told him that I would have to hold off on this today. That is my own back took and the thought of making a choice with a root canal.
This was a Monday - that is for sure! I do appreciate everyone and I will be back to your blogs I am just going to take it easy this evening and sitting too long isn't a good thing.
We all do get to some point in our age where some things do show up genetically I believe. As for my jean they fit well, but my genes may have given me some spare parts. Soon things shall be back!
Will see you within the writes...:)
Well soon you will know what is next and you can move on to your tooth problem. Glad you were able to get this done and have part of the day for other things.

ReplyDeleteAn MRI is a tremendous invention, so much now can be done. I will and I shall. It will not stop me, but once in a while it does. And the one thing with this new house - I really did not need the stairs. But it's all good unforgettable.

ReplyDeleteJack is making jokes... he must be doing well. I smile here imagining you in one of these gowns lol! A good thing blue suits most people don`t you think? It must feel good to think that soon you will have a clear picture of the situation with your knees. Knowing were we are going is always comforting somehow. Let`s keep the mind on the positive and expect the most efficient solution will also be the easiest one for you. All the best to you, and a peaceful night.
