The Epic Battle

The other day I went to the doctor to have an MRI done. Now I've never had anything done like this before, so it was definitely a new experience. I didn't really know what to expect... All I've ever seen or heard about MRI's is what I have seen on TV, which may or may not be accurate. I decided to go into the appointment with an open mind and not freak myself out. They had me lay on this table and I had to keep my head real still. The good part about this all was that I was able to listen to music during the whole procedure. I was very indecisive about what kind of music I wanted to listen to, which resulted in my listening to Bon Jovi. I'm not the biggest fan of him and his music, but I can take it in small doses. The only problem was that I didn't know any of his songs, so I ended up ignoring the music and just listening to the loud noises that come with an MRI. I was told ahead of time that the noises would most likely sound like a construction site, and I would say that the analogy is pretty darn accurate. With Bon Jovi singing to me loudly and the sounds like they are putting up the world's next biggest skyscraper and being in a small tube like thing and not being able to move my head or any part of my body because I feared that I would screw up the tests, it just all added up to give me a headache. The one part of this experience that was quite funny was when the technician told me that the next test would make the table shake. I was looking forward to the change of pace, but what was ahead of me was much more...! It was an EPIC BATTLE and my body was in the middle of it. The noises were a tad bit louder, but when the table began to shake I knew it was going to be an adventure. There were noises of B.B. guns shooting each other. First they came from the left... Then they came from the right... It went back and forth, from right to left for quite a while. The left side of my body was in a battle with the right side of my body. After about 2 minutes, the left side were left standing and alive. They let out a few more warning shots before going back to making my body run smoothly and efficiently.

Now I guess if your reading this, you may think I am now going crazy. That may be the case... But is not likely. I had to find something that would amuse me for the 40 minutes that the test went on... :)
