Every ...<B>Sylvia</B> Blogging makes you a curious person. Every new thing is potentially bloggable. I didnt think too much of the MRI till I started to do the songs....and it took my mind of the bad stuff:-)<BR/><BR/><B>Kusum</B> You know the strange thing is that the shoulder MRI's show nothing unusual (even though it is a shoulder problem). But there is some stuff in the cervical spine images, which show the stuff under some stress. They have advised wearing a collar for a few weeks which should take care of things. So its very important as to which place you look at while performing the MRI....<BR/><BR/><B>Sucharita</B> I am just surprised that the MRI manufacturing people cannot reduce some of the noise, with advanced technologies and all that. The whole thing was just absurd. Looking at computerized images, radiations, and all those noises in the bakground. The results are out and I might be wearing adorments around my neck for a few weeks. <BR/><BR/>And yes, you might want to play "Bridge" over troubled waters (canals) at your dentists. It is suitably depressing...:-) <BR/><BR/><B>Suma</B> Yes , there was a sort of claustrophobic moment as I slid into the magnetic thing. But its really up to you. Thats why all those stotras and songs work. Mind over magnets and all that .....:-)<BR/><BR/><B>A. I. </B> You know you see so many really sick people, old folks and even little children coming for these MRI things and they tolerate the stuff out of sheer helplessness. I really cannot and dare not pretend any agony. In any case an overactive mind works wonders at such times.<BR/><BR/><B>Tina</B> I dont wish MRI's on anybody. There are better ways of spending time. But thank you for the wishes. ....<BR/><BR/><B>Hitch writer</B> As soon as those drilling noises started, I was so disgusted, I knew I had to blog about this. I still dont know why the machine doesnt have silencers, with all its advanced technology.<BR/><BR/>And yes, the good news is that my shoulder muscles are fine but the problem is with some parts of the neck/spine. A neck soft collar has been advised. <BR/><BR/>So maybe you can imagine Gavaskar (yes, I remember !) bowling fast with a polo neck Tshirt .....on second thoughts, maybe I will change over to Rahul Dravid :-) <BR/><BR/><B>June</B> Relax :-) Just learnt something new. If your shoulder is paining and you MRI that and , say, the spine, it turns out that the shoulder looks great but the changes to the cervical spine are the cause of some shoulder area muscles misbehaving. Probably have to wear a soft collar for a few weeks. So it is important that you know all the associated things to MRI.... With all that singing, I am just wondering why they didnt MRI the brain :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Gauri</B> You know we have this great tradition of "dukhnaa angawar kadhna". So the pain is kind of accepted, even part of life; but all that drilling stuff is totally unacceptable to me, in a age where silencers are available.....<BR/><BR/>Folks, thank you for your concern and wishes.Ugich Konitarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901335427613806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-2253772368673544612009-02-27T12:19:00.000+05:302009-02-27T12:19:00.000+05:30Speaks volumes of you, to have this disposition at...Speaks volumes of you, to have this disposition at a time of pain.<BR/><BR/>A very enjoyable read, though I'd like to think <I>not</I> at your expense :)<BR/><BR/>Ashyaach hasat raha ani amhala hasvaa :) Hope all's well - I'm sure it will be.<BR/><BR/>gauriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-64788587246907758512009-02-27T11:51:00.000+05:302009-02-27T11:51:00.000+05:30SurangaI am on the edge of my chair, hoping that y...Suranga<BR/>I am on the edge of my chair, hoping that your news is good.June Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194576632686640776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-66871761956657895012009-02-27T11:08:00.000+05:302009-02-27T11:08:00.000+05:30“Laughter is God's hand on the shoulder of a troub...“Laughter is God's hand on the shoulder of a troubled world"......<BR/><BR/><BR/>thats a wonderful way of putting it !!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>geee you made a hell of a funny post !!! roftlol... <BR/><BR/>but more importantly hope you recover fast and get fit again to bowl as fast as Sunny Gavaskar !! <BR/><BR/>lol ! if you remember !hitch writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07533278513292989066noreply@blogger.com
