The MRI Experience, Part Three: Getting the results

You wait a week for your GP to have time available to tell you, you don't actually have a  brain.. Aliens stole it years ago and replaced it with a cauliflower, and -- what's worse -- nobody noticed. (See here and here for the first two parts in this story)

Actually, you wait a week for your GP to come back from a well-earned holiday with his kids and tell you, your brain scans are totally normal, so we have zero idea of why you're dizzy and have constant headaches --


-- and here's me, in profile, looking like something out of Curse of the Mummy, proving that beauty really is skin-deep, and demonstrating how amazing it is to see the inside of your own head! This is just so fantastic...



...when's the last time you saw the inside of your head? I had a CT scan about eight years ago -- for the same problem of chronic headaches -- but the detail shown on those is little, if any, better than you'd see on an old-fashioned x-ray. Cool.

Anyway, the test results are "normal," so now the question is, where the [deleted expletive] are these symptoms coming from? In a few weeks' time, I expect I'll option the consultation with a neurologist, and we'll go from there.

For comparison purposes, here's the exterior scan, positive rather than negative, and color:


...LOL, a selfie in the car on the driveway, while I was waiting for Dave last week. No squillion-dollar equipment required. Wouldn't you know it? There's a brain behind those cucumber frames after all (thank you, Eric Morcambe).

  1. I hadn't seen a picture of you with gray hair. Looks nice. While I'm glad nothing showed in the MRI it just means you have to keep searching for a cure for your noggin'. See you in October.

  2. Yes ... haven't been bothered about coloring it, as it doesn't look bad at all. Truth is, it's gradually been going snowy-white since I was 24 -- Irish genes. Kept it red for ~30 years, then got tired of the process; and since Dave LIKES it this way --! Nuff said. Mmmm, what to do about the problem inside, is the question. The MRI was OK, but the head continues to ache every. single. day. Gak. Looking forward to October -- planning for it!
