I had an MRI today. It was my yearly recheck MRI after having brain surgery for a benign brain tumor on 1/8/2003. Laying prone in an enclosed narrow tube with loud clicking and buzzing noises all around. Headphones on and listening to the radio to help kill the noise. An angled mirror lets me see the technician and helps reduce claustrophobia. Then after about 20 minutes, I’m rolled out and injected with gadolinium. It causes any abnormal areas to become very bright (enhanced) on the MRI. Hopefully I don’t have any of those. Then back in again for more scans. After about 45 minutes, I’m done and I leave. In about a week I should get the results. Last year I got them on a CD. Neat!

Nope, everything came back normal. No new growths.
