Wrist MRI was last night

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.
