I had an MRI today. It's both a boring and unnerving experience. It's unnerving in the same way putting your head in the jaws of a tame lion is. There's a lot of energy in that machine.
It makes a lot of clicking noises, in a regular drumming tattoo of 8 beats. Sometimes its a hum, sometimes its alternating low and higher tapping. At some points (setup, I think) it sounds like a hard drive spinning up.
You lay down there , trying not to move your head at all for 20 minutes while this is going on. It felt like some of the hairs on my head were on end during the last phase of it.
"So, you've seen a bunch of these. Mine's pretty normal?"
The technician paused "you'll have to talk to the doctor about that, I'm just a technician."
Then she added. "So how bad was the concussion you had at age 6?"
Driving back, I noticed the inside of a restaurant that I'd passed by many times before. Never had been inside. Looked cute, but is a fish place. I also noticed an empty lot that I passed many times before. It looked to me like I was noticing it for the first time, seeing it. I wonder if the experience had me thinking so much about thinking that I shook something loose just from the though.
