I'm back!
The tech was quite amused at my get-up and took some pics for your amusement!



I seem to be missing a pink "Uniform" as I have sent them all out! I guess another Wally World hunt is in order!
The "R" rated one, a la Phyll,  is on the Frappr site!

Thanks for all your well wishes--I'm to pick up the radiologists report in a few days, but I have no doubt that my AN is somewhere enjoying the depths of the Pacific Ocean where it probably ended up when they flushed it down the potty at House 3 1/2 years ago.  I hope it got eaten by a crab! (EEEEWWWWW!!) I'm sure my new MRI will probably look something like this!!!

LOVED the pics!  We were wearing the same sockies today!  I got comments from a co-worker.  Left it at, "There's a story behind them."  She called them spookie socks.  Hee hee.

How the h*** did you get the pirate in your brain?  I'm so techie-challenged.

Must've been that booger they took out that made me that way....NOT.

I wore the pink socks for ya, Capt. Deb.  Wow, you have the open MRI.  I'm impressed. When I climb into my MRI bed, I feel like I'm going to be shot out the other end, like a torpedo.

Capt. Deb: I think what Sue is referring to is the machine in the pic.'s in one of the newer "open" types, I remember the old one's....it was much like being stuffed into a cigarette tube, often there was a mirror right in front of your nose and the walls all around were within centimeters of your body....believe me this one was an "open" machine!

I picked up the radiologists report today and it's a bit confusing to me.  I'll wait till I hear from Dr Friedman or see my neurologist before I jump to any conclusions about anything.
