Procedures...

[alexpgp]

My first experience with an MRI machine was over a dozen years ago, and the only thing I firmly remember about the experience was that I fell asleep inside the thing. When I went in for another MRI today, I was assured that that would not happen, as the techs would be giving me instructions all throughout the session.

Nevertheless, despite the fact that I had "something to do" during the procedure, I managed to drift off at one point anyway.

The activity managed to eat up most of the day, so I wasn't able to get send any work back to my client, but I have somehow managed to complete almost 4,000 target words since returning home.

It'll be back to the grind tomorrow, as I have 6 more documents to complete in the assignment I'm working on. With any luck, I'll be able to send the job back tomorrow afternoon.

Right now, however, I feel a strong attraction from my pillow.

Why does falling asleep inside concerns you?

It not so much concerns me as amazes me. The noise generated by the machine is quite loud, and even though they outfitted me with form-fitting ear plug that go in the ear canal and cover-the-ear hearing protection (built like a set of headphones), I could barely hear myself think.

I've only had one MRI to look at my knees and shoulder. I was also worried about falling asleep, but it's because they wanted me to stay still and when I drift off like that, I wake up with a big spastic jerk ;p
