The MRI tests were a success. I'm just pretty damn happy I'm not claustrophobic, since I was in the machine for about three hours, maybe a little more. For the brain scans I could listen to music ( the Beatles ) but for my spine the headphones wouldn't fit in the headpeice, so there was just lots and lots of banging for a half hour.

Kinda like being at Essltate again. They even gave me the same kind of earplugs, but yellow instead of green or orange.

I had my scans, I had an IV where they pushed the contrasting juice in, so my right arm is a little bit of a pincushion between today's injection and yesterday's blood test.

I just get the results for my blood test tomorrow, and the results for the scans on Thursday. And my parents are indeed coming up on Saturday, so I can get the computer situation sorted out. Right now I'm on the 8th floor of the graduate collection, watching Rachel Maddow/Countdown and checking live journal and my email. And playing a little Kingdom of Loathing.

Anyway, I'm signing off and heading for home and my bed. This year I have a thermometer, so I can acutally tell how frigid/broiling it is in there. So I can say with authority that my room is a 80 degree sauna, because they decided to turn on the heat yesterday. Which was fair, as before the heat was on it was about 68 in there.

Hurrah for the Kingdom and not being Claustrophobic!
