Proof at Last! I am NOT Brainless!

This morning I went to the hospital and had an MRI done on my noggin!

I had to lay very, very still as this huge, noisy machine spent 15 minutes, or so, mapping what passes for my brain. ;-D

After it was all over I was given a very cool CD with 174 images of my head, and brain, in Black & White.

Let me tell you, it was immensely gratifying to know that I have a brain, afterall, considering some of the things I've done, or not done, in the first 50 years of my life. ;-D

That it was done so soon is partly thanks to my Cat, Nikita, as he explains here:

Obi-Wan Nikita Helps Daddy Schedule His Tests!

I had to get up way before my usual wake-up time, in order to make it to Huntington Beach, by bus, in time for my 815am appointment.

 

The Tech who supervised the festivities had a sense of humor. 

When he learned my Cat Blogs he said: "Too bad, he wasn't with you, then we could've done a Cat Scan, too! ;-D

When he learned I was a Directory Assistance Operator, he chose appropriate music for me to listen to in my headphones:

Jim Croce, singing...Operator. ;-D

 

Sitting here, at home, looking at all the images of my head, and brain, was absolutely fascinating.

How MRI works.

What it all means, including the notations, I have no clue yet.

Next up will be a Cardiac Work-up.

Once that is completed I will meet with the Neurologist, again, so he can explain what the results all mean, and then I can plan for what to do next.

In the meantime...yes, seeing the inside of my head inspired me to write another parody. ;-D

With apologies to the Scarecrow of The Wizard of Oz, and the writers of the original song...

 Because I've Got a A Brain

(Mad Macedonian)

 

I can wile away the hours
Sharing my thoughts for those who read us bloggers
Writing both funny and quite sane
Causing my readers heads to be scratchin'
While more ideas I'm busy hatchin'
Because I've got a brain

 

Discussing most any issue I can put my thoughts right in the middle
Annoying, or informing, just about any individ'le
Who will think my points either inspired or insane

 

(Nikita Cat)

 

With the thoughts you'd be sharin'
You can be another Twain
Because you've got a brain

 

(Mad Macedonian)

 

Oh, I can write stuff so sly
Words that never bore
My neurons really firing
People find it quite inspiring

 

I am not just a nuffin'
My head has more than stuffin'
My future has much to gain
I can blog and be merry
The days, and years, ahead less scary
Because I've got a brain

Great post.

I've had an MRI as well...

The idea of scanning my brain is kinda weird but it was pretty cool.

Also I love your posts, you're so funny.
