Last week was time for my annual brain MRI to monitor my brain tumor that ruptured back in 2014. You would think I would be used to them by now but they can really get the anxiety kicked into overdrive !
My head gets placed into this small cage, then I get lifted and slid into the machine for 30 minutes :-\
I do have a Panic Button that shuts it down and I get pulled out but I've only had to do that twice in 12 years :-[ This is an Open MRI Machine,the regular ones are just a tube and due to Claustrophobia I use this one. They both SUCK !!! Glad it is over till next year ! I will get the results in a couple weeks, till then it's time to focus on The Bat Fight 8)

I've had a few of those. Tube style. I was surprised how little they bothered me. My wife can't even get in the car to go to the appointment she gets so freaked out.
Good luck Tim and looking forward to seeing you and the AZ hoof for the Bat Fight!
As for the MRI tubes. I f@cking hate them. I feel like I'm going to freak out everytime.
Last one I had sounded like the music on my playlist at the time. I just closed my eyes and jammed out. Over before I knew it.

Yeah, the Jackhammer Mafia Quartet was keeping the rhythm interesting, the earplugs kept it tolerable but I'm still glad I'm good for another year ;)
