The 21-Year Old and Her Tear

MRI Appointment

Posted on: December 26, 2010

This was my first MRI scan and I was actually nervous because people told me to expect different things. Your entire body will be inside a humming tube.  It’s gonna be freezing.  The machine is very loud.  You’ll be injected with a substance so the machine can read you.  Yada yada yada.

If I could pick my favorite part about this experience, I would choose my MRI scan because it was painless and actually relaxing.  I was escorted to a small room with the machine and told to lie down with my right knee positioned on a certain spot.  The technician covered me with a blanket and told me not to move.  For 10 minutes or so, I was relaxed.  Only my knee, not body, was placed under the machine.  The machine made noise but it wasn’t loud; the sounds were simply clicks.

I fell asleep during the scan but I felt very refreshed when the technician woke me up!  I would return in 2 days for my results.
