I have my MRI scan today, apparently you have to make sure that all jewellery is removed, no metal zippers allowed because it is a magnetic scan, so I started to ponder about the glitter in my nail varnish, I had visions of my being stuck inside the scanner hanging in there by my fingernails.
So all that said, I’m going bare, no nail varnish and apparently no make- up, even mascara is banned, no underwired bra eeeek, I’m hoping that I have no glitter from card making attached anywhere on my body.
If you don’t here from me by 8pm tonight please send out the cavalry to come and free me.
I do have one more concern, the scan lasts 30 minutes during which time you are lay horizontal, due to my lack of good nights sleep it may be that I fall asleep during this, I guess laying on my back I could end up snoring like a gissy pig…. oh the shame of it. Chris is coming along for moral support and I can see him retiring to the car in shame.
Good Luck Jak and I'll listen out for the snoring! x
ReplyDeleteGood luck Jak! Falling asleep would be a good option!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Jak. it's so hard not to move a muscle for 30 minutes. I had an MRI recently too but was lucky enough to be able to take my own music to listen too. Now got to have another one on my head think they must be in search of my brain this time.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck Jak! Hopefully it will be an open MRI and you'll have music to listen too!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Jak,hope all goes well for you.
ReplyDeleteHugs Sue

ReplyDeleteBig XXX Heidy
Good luck Jak hope all goes well and if you snore what does that matter at least you'll get a good sleep....lol take care
ReplyDeleteGood luck Jak but, unless you're mega tired, you've no chance of falling asleep. MRI's are very, very noisy! Headphones and music is the way to go. They will probably have a choice but you can take your own - or you can in this area. I've sat with Mum in the past, when she had one because of her claustrophobia and I've had one on my hip but didn't have to go right through, although I kept eye shades on as I didn't want to know how close I had to be taken to being the full way in ....
ReplyDeleteHope they gave you a large amount of valium and did you take out your navel piercing jewels? Sometimes they are forgotten.. The pounding of the machine might just keep you awake, don't worry about snoring.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Jak, we are all thinking or you and sending good vibes!!
ReplyDeleteHave a good sleep while you are there, if you nod off you obviously need it, ha ha.
I hope all goes well. Hugs Lesley x
Good Luck with your scan Jak ... let's hope the result will help your consultant to be able to plan a course of treatment which will have you leaping around in no time at all!! xx
ReplyDeleteBlessings Jak.
ReplyDeleteGr Elly
Hi Jak,
ReplyDeleteGood luck. When I had mine, they put ear phones on me to listen to their music. Also I had to strip off and wear one of their gowns you know the ones - those that cover you at the front and have a slit right up the back. Lovely!!
Hope all goes well. you can catch up with the glitter afterwards nails and cardmaking
ReplyDeleteHope all has gone well Jak, (I'm assuming the deed has been done), and that it helps your consultant to discover the remedy for your problems.
ReplyDeleteOMG yeah - I did on one of mine. !!! How embarrasing. I hope it all goes well xxxx
ReplyDeleteHello Jak!
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you, and just say to yourself its only 30 minutes to find out whats wrong so thats a good thing
take care
LoveMarg

ReplyDeleteBest of luck Jak, hope all goes well...xx
ReplyDeleteEven if you did fall asleep, I bet you wouldn't be the first!!! LOL. Wishing you well.
ReplyDeleteTine :)
Good luck, darlin'. Hope you do fall asleep -- best to sleep during unpleasant procedures. Thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteThey are so noisy and you do get music to listen too but i think you will be so uncomfortable to be able to sleep. Hope it's gone well.
ReplyDeleteMary xx
All the best, Jak, and hope that 30 mins goes quickly for you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Jak, I hope all goes well for you. LOL
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the scan, hugs, Lori m
ReplyDeleteHope it all well ok for you. I have heard they are noisy machines but I only go in the cat scan which is just a doughnut. I have cracked that one too as I go braless and elasticated waist skirt so no getting changed ;-)

Hope its all gone well Jak - the MRI is a very strange experience - and certainly not quiet, so I doubt they will hear your snoring over the noise anyway lol x
ReplyDeleteGood luck Jak! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI hope your MRI went well Jak. At least you'll soon be able to find out what the problem is and the consultant can start treatment xx
ReplyDeleteHope all went well Jak and the results help.

Oh Jak, You made me laugh all through your message, I don't think you will get stuck in there even if you do have a little glitter, I do wish you all the luck and no one will hear even if you do snore.
ReplyDeleteHugs from Texas
Jak I hope all went well. I hated it when I had my MRI scan. Callyxx
ReplyDeleteHope all went well for the MRI scan today Jak. xx
ReplyDeleteGood luck Jak, but I can honestly say that you won't sleep as the Magnet in the M.R.I. Scanner is so loud....but at least no radiation is used...hope you don't have to wait to long for your results.... Hugs. X
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best Jak. Your post was definitely funny....I am stuck with this image of you hanging by your fingernails. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Jak, hope the scan went ok, as you will know by now they're too noisy to sleep in! Having had 3 or 4 myself I remember all the concerns the first one I had - but well worth it because you do get results and appropriate treatment after a scan.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling ok now and you get your results soon!
Hugs
Laurian
Good luck with the scan Jak....they are so noisey the tech won't even hear you if you do snore!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Renee
Glitter in nail polish comes from fish scales, so you are safe! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the very best with your scan.
ReplyDeleteNo make up whoo cares.
Hugs Lynne from OZ
Sending you good wishes from across the Pond, Jak. Hope all goes well. Looking forward to hearing some positive news on your blog.
ReplyDeleteAlways get a chuckle from your blog, & as others have said & I know it's really noisey. Wishing you well..
ReplyDeleteA Texas friend,

Hope everything went well for you and you are snoring in your own bed!!!! When I was diagnosed with my cancer (it will be 4 years November 2012) because it went into my bones slightly I had to have all sorts of scans so I do appreciate what you mean. Lots of hugs and hope to hear from you soon.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck Jak
ReplyDeleteI will be thinking of you, I had to have one done last year because of a car accident left me with back problems. The noise of the machine will hide any snoring so go for it and have that well deserved nap
Hugs
Kirsty x
Good luck Jak, I loved your post, it made me really laugh, and laughter makes the world go round.
ReplyDeleteHope the outcome is good.

It is 12.10 on Tuesday Jak. No sign of you sweetie. I hope you are not caught up anywhere. Also hope you didn't snore, I can associate with you on that one. Seriously I hope all went okay.

Hope it all goes well today, had an MRI myself a few months ago and I did fall asleep found the whole thing a lot more relaxing than I expected. Hugs, Amanda x
ReplyDeleteI've had a total of 3 in my life and they are just so darn loud-but they do provide the results the Dr's need to help diagnose and treat us...Hope you get some answers soon. I had mine done 2 months ago-go back for results end of this month.
