What shape was your AN?
« on: April 04, 2008, 05:12:19 am »
In another thread, Lisa B. and Glenda mentioned their AN was the shape of a lima bean. 

Mine was the shape of an ice cream cone.(although I like ice cream, this surely wasn't one of my top 33 flavors:-)

What shape was your AN?

Mine really didn't have a specific shape - it was kind of shapeless.

I guess it was more like someone said in the "Name your AN" posts - just a blob  ::)

Kind of like a mushroom - the kind that taste nasty!  Actually, I think it kind of looks like a tadpole with it's little tail buried in my canal and the rest of it all cozy up next to my brain.  Euw.  I just grossed myself out!

I say it looked like a peanut, the Radioalogist said it looked more like a boomerang.

I saw mine and it looked like an ice cream cone on its side.  The tail filled the IAC and the rounded top was kissing the brain.

Mine is like a small closed cup mushroom before the root is cut off - I'm guessing its the 'stalk' that had the bleed
as that's the bit that's in my IAC - I didn't realise there was such a variation is shape....
funny how we mostly relate the shape to food though  :D 
Is there some Freudian/psycho. meaning to this I wonder...?  ;D

You mean the ones that are shaped like an ice cream cone, or the ones that are shaped like a hot dog?  :)

Please tell me these shapes you saw were from your MRIs and not post extraction.  I glanced at my MRI and saw it was there.  The surgeons told me that it was out.  I really didn't need to see the thing.

My MRI BTW, showed an ugly mess that needed to be gone.  It's gone and that's all I need to know.  I'm assuming it has long been disposed of in some lab.  It really wasn't a friend of mine.

Eww. I certainly hope they were MRI pictures. Even I don't want to see one lying on a tray.
