MRI ay ay ay...
Have you had one of these things (an MRI that is)? Talk about a rotten experience. The total opposite of the CT scan which was a non event. You wait to go in this tube…then they have you lay down as they wrap your head up with vinyl pillows, enclose it with a cage and make you stay absolutely frozen for 35 minutes…then as you are in this tube as a frozen mummy these bizarre noises start going off with these odyssey banging sounds lake jack hammers gone wild. After this is completed and your head is numb with stillness they then pull you out and give you a 6-minute shot in your arm and cram you back in the tube for another 25 minutes. WOW…I mean WHOA…I'm glad that bad boy is over. No news on my smell and taste until the results come back from the MRI and I am not expecting much then. I have an appointment in November to see a specialist in Philly. **update...MRI tests back...clear...so we wait.

Sorry to hear about the MRI. Steven had done that test twice. Although I do not think the 2nd one counted, it was for his ankle! Did they offer you a Valium?? I am glad that it is over and hopefully you will never need another one.
This sounds like a job for Gregory House (I know he's fictitious but surely there is a real life version!). Of course the grass is always greener, during the throws of morning sickness I wish so badly that I had no sense of smell ;) Good luck Sid, we are praying for you!
