Going in for an MRI in a few hours. The idea of a giant magnet that can see inside my body and convert what it sees into data which can then be displayed on a computer screen, is nothing short of sorcery to me. This is probably what all those Christians felt like in the 14th century.
Hopefully the doctors will be burned at the stake shortly afterwards. Right after they give me their mystical healing potions.
Wish me luck!
-
good luck; my wife had that and the pictures are amazing!
-
lol geez nocry you make it sound like glamour shots :) well good luck manic I hope everything comes out ok.
-
...well good luck manic I hope everything comes out ok.
Eww... By that I think he means he hopes everything "turns" out to be ok.
As do I.
-
Yeah same here, don't know how that went but hope your results are a clean bill of health. Keep us posted man.
-
I wish you luck my good buddy!
(It sounded weird saying "good luck my good buddy").

MRIs are fun. I've had two MRIs, and one MRA. Everyone complains about them being loud and confining... I went to sleep.
-
Well, I'm now convinced I have telekinetic abilities. I was 20 minutes into the thing and I thought "What if something goes wrong?" About five minutes later the nurse walks in and says there was a "blip" in the readouts. The machine malfunctioned and I have to go back in tomorrow.
The MRI itself isn't so bad, so much as the "No eating for 9 hours before the procedure" rule. That part was hell. I had a big breakfast at 8, and then drank water for the rest of the day. And I get to do it all over again tomorrow. :(
But they pumped me full of a radioactive isotope so they could see how fluid traveled through my urinary track. That was kinda cool.
-
Hahahahahha. (I'm laughing because you have to go again and how much it sucks) Poor Manic. Good luck tomorrow!
-
I love how Ana went from good luck to laughing at your misfortune in the space of a few posts :-P
Hope your, you know, bits, are okay
-
Nah, I was just laughing at how ridiculous that is. I feel bad for him, but it's one of those funny circumstances that you can't help not laughing at.
-
It really is kinda funny. Not much I can do about it, so there's no point in getting upset. I'll just take pleasure in the fantasy of my bending the rules of the matrix to break the MRI machine. :)

lol agent nubs! i'm in ur matrix, dodging ur bullets!
-
"He can not find out about the bug in his penis"
Can you imagine the contraption to remove that one? OUCH!
-
The 'blip' is merely their recognition that you are The One! Don't let the get you!
Good luck tomorow!

Radioactive isotopes huh? Maybe you'll devolope superhuman powers... like super pee... fight crime with your urethra of justice!
-
radioactive dye is so that they can see contrast on the mri. but since mr superurethra broke it he's gonna have to get it done again. i hope everthing turns out well brother.
-
that stuff tastes like liquid chalk twice thrown up already...
-
but since mr superurethra broke.
I just figured out you were comparing it to the MRI.. WOW...
-
I go in for surgery this friday! They're going to cut me open and weasel around for about two hours. I'll spend that night in the hospital for observation, then I'll spend the next week at home in bed.
If all goes as I hope, I'll have an embarrassing video to showcase. :)
-
Good luck man!
-
GL, dude!
-
Goodeh Luckeh
-
Eek, come back in one piece! Hope everything goes smoothly!
-
Good luck Manic.
-
Hope your willy is okay :(
But you know, not in a pervy way like that sounded.
-
Good Luck Manic!!! Hope to see you up and about as soon as possible.
-
Good luck!
And hooray for (maybe) a full week of uninterrupted Matrix!1!one!
-
Good Luck Manic! :D
-
Good luck Manic!

WHAT the FUCK.
And yes, I read the above. Still.

The surgery went well. I had an artery that was stretched over the top of my ureter (the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder) and was pinching it shut. I'm staying at my parents' house for a couple days in case anything goes wrong.
I convinced my mom to play camera man while I was getting ready to go in. I just took a look at the footage of me coming out of the anesthesia and it's pretty funny. My plan is to splice it up and put it up on YouTube.
You know they're giving you good drugs when all of your nurses look like Weird Al Yankovich. :)
I'm not sure when I'll be able to go home. I'm still in quite a bit of pain. Just wanted to check in with you guys to let you know I'm still alive.
-
i am pleased it went well manic; see you shortly!
-
Glad the surgery went well. Hopefully nothing was too damaged!
-
And he lives!! Weird al Yankovic eh... interesting ... did you by any chance try to convince them you were the one?
-
It's good to hear that everything went well Manic!
-
Glad to hear everything came out ok ... hmm or rather WILL come out ok :) but just be glad you didn't grab a boob! lol I did latched onto one the last time I went under.. I came out and had a death grip on the nurses tit lol. Oh happy days :)
-
LOL, Pirus, you remind me of Todd from Scrubs. :p

yes it is good to hear you are ok. i was wondering when you were going to post in this thread again :P
i know this may sound gross or weird, but i am in medicine, and am just wondering how they fixed it...?
-
Im going to assume thats NSFW so i'll check it out when I get home :). Yeah i like scrubs, funny show.

You're probably familiar with the term laparoscopic surgery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laparoscopic_surgery).
The surgeon explained everything as I was coming out of the anesthesia, so I'm not sure if I'm remembering this correctly. He said something about cutting the ureter, repositioning it elsewhere so that it wouldn't get pinched, and then re-connecting it.
I have what's called a "JP Drain" coming out of my back that I'll have removed on Wednesday. Then I should be good to go home and get to work collecting all the anniversary content. :)
