everything is ok with the brain

i am back!! and the mri scan showed that i am ok. my brain scan is ok. phew! everyone breathed sigh of relief.....

but dad also asked, how come the opthalmologist scan shows otherwise. why the dull headache?
i questioned why the stiff neck?

anyway, chinching will check with the doctors why the disc can be swollen if it is not due to brain pressure.

the neuro said, wait for a month to see if the condition remains the same.....that means no deterioration...then i can go ahead with my lasik. like all other doctors, he also said we fellows who go for lasik are brave creatures. why do we want to alter something god has given.....we only have one cornea, so why do we wanna cut it?
well, mine was already cut last time....so too late for that. and i am still keen to correct my eye sight and not to wear glasses

i will go back to blaming the stiff neck on bad posture. we have to bend our head too much when it comes to marking and reading the daily newspaper. yoko yoko is needed to relief the pain temporarily.
maybe i need to get a new pillow? new mattress?

paid rm1032 for the mri. the neuro did not charge me today. phew! i only paid rm5 for the registration fee.

well, at least i now know how it feel like to go into the mri scanning machine. it is quite scary. i dun have to change my clothes, just have to take out my ear-rings. then i was given ear plugs. you lie down and they give you a blanket. then they pull some bars over your face and you go into the machine. it is really a noisy one. click on the video below and you will hear how bad the noise is. i was inside for like about 20 mins. so you can occupy yourself by thinking of all sorts of things inside the machine. and one of the things that went through my head was www.tessabitonline.com and how much their ysl bags cost. muahaha....this will prove that i am still sane to you all.
those who have phobia of an enclosed place, they will definitely freak out. i was given an emergency button to hold on my right hand in case something happens while i am in the machine. i closed my eyes most of the time when they were scanning. you could fall asleep there too.

well, glad that my brain is all right. so now i can relax and plan for my holidays without worry. oh, of course, finish marking first.

I had an MRI scan too when I was 17 due to an unexplained continuous headache. Suffice to say, everything is ok.

Do you have an osteopath near where you live? We go and visit ours quite often to all this sakit-sakit badan sorted. Very good, I must say. You should try it. They are like magician!! So worth the money.

osteopath? i hear this word from you for the first time.
dun think we have those around here. have not heard anyone mentioning it at all.
maybe will find some time to go for a back, neck and shoulder massage.

in the meantime, forget the prob and think of happy thoughts :)
