Aug 5th - Functional MRI and Pre-Op Testing

Friday 5th August
Pre-op blood work etc.  Passed with flying colors.  Of course. Then spent almost 2 hours in the magnet. The first part was the functional MRI. Not too bad and karl got to sit with the doc and watch parts of my brain light up as I went through the tests. He thought that was pretty cool. Then without being allowed out of that loud tube I had the anatomical part of the MRI with and without contrast. Almost two hours in all. Crazy. The good thing about it though is that they couldn't remove the fancy display goggles that I was looking at for the functional MRI so I got to look at a slide show of pretty landscapes.  Much better than the inside if the magnet.
