Three days without a post! Time flies. Or sometimes, time drags. Friends, tommorow- yes, a Saturday -I'm going into hospital for a full-body scan in one of those MRI machines. Just precautionary, Mrs Chromosome says; just to make sure there's nothing to be overly concerned about.
Words to that effect.
It worries. Me. I feel okay, but apparently I'm not okay. Mrs C -- who worked in this self-same hospital for thirty-odd years and knows everybody, had a talk to a specialist there and he organized this scan. Doctors don't order full-body scans just for the heck of it or purely as a favour.
The trouble is I'm afraid to ask her why she went to the trouble to ask the doctor and get it arranged.
Am I being irrational? Okay, MRI's don't pick up insanity anyway (says he at poor attempt at humour), but why should I be worried?
If this post makes little sense then I apologise. The world's become very small for me right now.
Whyc.

you're right that it's not exactly nothing, but if she's worked there that long, perhaps she's developed a hypersensitive awareness of symptoms? so it's entirely possible she's worried about nothing.
breathe easy, man, and take a good book if you can.

Yes, I figured it wouldn't be right if I didn't. BTW ed, looks like my feeling of something big coming up (a previous post) was a false alarm. Knocks a hole in my percentages but I am mightily relieved. And no -- what's coming up tomorrow was not it.

well, it's always a relief when the coming hurricane is downgraded to a tropical storm, eh? :>

This thing wants a tag so I put My oh My. It seems to go nicely after MRI.
But anyway, I'm always relieved when hurricanes stop being. But that wasn't it either. What I felt was natural and powerful, but was something sudden, unexpected, and maily due to that (or them), potentially catastrophic. Doesn't fit with hurricanes, but let's hope it won't fit with anything. In any case, I was thinking of a three-day 'window' when I wrote the post. Way overdue now so I couldn't take any 'credit' for predicting it even it happened in the next five minutes.
And thanks, ed. Takes my mind off in other directions. Need that...
I'd love to know what chocolate peanut butter icecream tastes like...

Good luck WhyC.....let us know how you make out.

I wouldn't worry about your prediction percentages. It doesn't mean that nothing happened just because nothing on the surface happened. You might have detected movement much deeper below the crust.
As far as your scan goes, well, good luck. There's nothing to worry about until something comes up. Even then, I wouldn't "worry" too much. Just do what you can.
Chocolate peanut butter ice cream!
Tried to distract you again. That ice cream, btw, is really good.

Ohhh...that mysterious ice cream!
Thanks, Hotaka. You could well be right on the prediction thing. The geomagnetic effects on humans are no well understood though they are researching it. I prefer a peaceful world anyway.
I'll post after the scan; apparently it ca take hours so I'm just wondering waht book to take -- if I'm allowed to read a book. I was thinking Larry McMurtry's 'Lonesome Dove"...or....
Hmm... Here comes a new post...

Mamie said on Sep 16, 2006....
hey WhyC: I too have been MIA of late, no worries here but wanted to check in on this post: I bet you are there right now and this applies for whatever the outcome is....if God leads you to it, He also leads you thru it, don't forget that! We seem to be the king and queen of medical stuff over here and I will check in to see what you find out....prayers and love, Mamie

Hi Mamie. Thank you....I just got back so I'll post. A few others might want to know, too. Whyc.

I haven't been posting as adamently--so don't feel bad on that score.
Concerning the MRI: so it is closed? Mine was, too. What was most frustrating was that I couldn't move--except when it wasn't scanning. Maybe that wouldn't be a big deal, but I had a cold, and I felt like I was holding back an explosive cough.
And if they offer you music--take it.
Is this your first MRI?
And hey--
Hurricanes are serious business! :)
I could tell you some stories...
Oh, and "Lonesome Dove" is a wonderful book!
