My brother, Bird, hated those machines. I've never had the pleasure myself, but I'll take your word on it! Write on - this is a great read.

A positive attitude and someone to share thoughts helps in many ways. Hang in there!

Well as we get older we have to make our own fun Naut. It is better to be dead than buried.

I am soooo glad to be back on my laptop and off the dang iPad....it kept changing your name to Nautilus....I mean, why in the hell does it think it knows better than I do what noun I'm typing???!!!! Anyway, I know for sure I'm a freak now because your description was giving me sexual images......okay, it's been awhile.....just about everything gives me sexual images :) I am just going to have to write about the time I had an MRI on one of my shoulders.....I've had them on just about every part of my body....actually, I'm pretty sure that's a true statement and not a typical Texas thing....in fact, I have to have them on my head (I think those are called MRE's) every year because of a cyst on my pituitary....heavy sigh.....if it can happen, it seems to happen to my body.....anyway, this particular shoulder MRI was excruciating...but a really funny story in retrospect......in fact, I'm sure the tech has repeated the story numerous times......and, yes, I've had a large bourbon.....I deserved it.....nursing home, sick cat, tile man, endless driving, dogs, falling garage doors, property taxes and just too many friggin' decisions......actually, I don't think I'd mind crawling into a big MRI tube and listeing to a bunch of resonating magnets.....okay, I feel better....thanks for listening.

OK my friend
You can keep this fun for yourself...slow and methodical torture is not my idea of fun at all. Glad to see you posting here, therefore, I know you have survived.

Well I think the gowns are made that way so your 'junk' doesn't come flopping out. Well at that age it wouldn't jam up the MRI machine. LOL

There was an episode of "Becker" -- Ted Danson's curmudgeonly
doctor -- a rerun just a few days ago had him spazzing out about taking an MRI because he'd done something to his shoulder. Have to admit I thought of you as I watched. He was not exactly a cooperative patient, but did wear his "party dress" tied in the back. I know this had a good outcome, but please tell us more! :)

You have me hanging on for more. I wonder how the experience went...I've thought those things about hospital gowns as well.
