Good luck, I had one that I could not fit in, My shoulders were just too big. I didn't know I had claustrophobia until they tried to shove me into that thing. Rescheduled with an open MRI and did much better, the fan at the back of the thing was a nice touch.
Suffered some nerve damage in my back. A combination of a long-ago fracture, a vertebrae that has displaced over the years as a result, 2 years of sitting on my ass working from home and 2 weeks of hauling my struggling dog up and down the stairs. Friday I helped her up the stairs and received a lightning bolt down my right leg as a reward. I spent all of Saturday and Sunday in bed/on the couch (yes, I had to miss the Mizzou game) because it felt like my nerves had been soaked in gasoline and lit on fire. If someone would have offered to kill me on Sunday, I probably would have taken them up on it.
Terrible weekend twocoach. Hoping you're better and vertical soon.twocoach wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 2:41 pmSuffered some nerve damage in my back.

The L5 nerve is apparently involved in many motions, including flexing the toes and feet. When standing flat flooted, I can barely lift the toes on my right foot off the ground. My foot has been numb, swollen and tingling since Saturday morning and feels like it fell asleep. They are hoping that with the medications they put me on and some PT that I can recover. Further damage may cost me the ability to flex my foot, which fucks up all sorts of things I enjoy like driving, skiing, biking, walking, etc... so I need to follow through on whatever they give me to do.
Brutal weekend with that and my dog passing Monday morning. At least the sport that I watched while stuck horizontally was awesome. Hoping the MRI helps us figure out any additional ways we can help me avoid further damage. I really have no interest in having two vertebrae fused together or in losing my ability to flex that foot so fingers crossed.
No shit. My kitten (my gf convinced me to adopt) scratched my right eye a week ago, little shit. Tossed a toy up in the air and it landed behind me. She pounced on it and nailed me in the eye. Two days later I took her in for laser front claw removal. She’s an indoor cat and didn’t even notice a difference when I picked her up.
