So, that shit is fun.

Started having some really cool and powerful deja-vu at work on Tuesday, then a strong ominous feeling set in and then started seeing small, flashing rainbow colored lights under the brim of my hat. Figured that it was either a premonition about an earthquake (like animals get) as Salt Lake City sits on a fault line, either that or I was hitting a major fatigue wall as I had been working long hours and had been hitting the gym pretty hard while not getting as much sleep as required in addition to cutting carbs from the diet. Anyway, I got a little freaked out, went to the bakery, grabbed a croissant and detoured it and everything kinda went back to normal.

Later on, started getting the deja-vu again (and it was super good shit - like I was seeing the future and shit - and it even had a soundtrack going along with it), and that's about all I can remember. Apparently I turned to the guy next to me, said something about tripping my balls off massively and told him I was going to puke, then my eyes rolled back into my head and I passed out and hit the floor like a sack of potatoes.

Came to with the EMT dude holding a ice pack to the back of my mellon on a huge goose egg. They were going to call an ambulance to take me to the ER and I told them it was nothing and I was fine. Fortunately the HR guy was standing there and convinced me to go to the ER. When I got there they did a CT scan to check for concussion probabilities.

Dude came back into the room with the radiologist and said "Um, bad news. There is a mass in the right side of your brain and we want to do an MRI for more detail."

"Well, shit."

So they did that and sure enough, there is a golf ball sized mass sitting there with a bunch of fluid around it. Nuerosurgeon (chief resident who looks like he's 17, comes in and says that they want to schedule surgery on Friday morning. Okies.

So, I'm sitting here in the Neurology wing of the University of Utah hospital (which is highly regarded) worrying about these guys going to the Utah/Michigan game tonight and coming back into surgery tomorrow hungover as shit.

Bonus is, I've had two really hot nurses in a row the past two nights. Tried to convince both to give me a leisure massage and body shampoo, but they didn't go for it though I had a girl from work come by last night to visit who wanted to give me a hummer.

Anyway, I'm feeling pretty fortunate that shit went down the way it did, because I most likely would have blown it off for ever until it became really bad. (Although, I am going to ask them if it's benign if they can just keep it in there because I was digging the deja-vu bordering on omnipotence.)

Also I hear that the chief neurosurgeon is totally old school and I think I saw him sharpening his hacksaw on a rusty pipe outside and telling the nurse that she should find his favorite spoon.

So I got to lay in the cement mixer for four hours having the best of times.
No ****ing way. I don't think I could tolerate that in an Open MRI.

I believe these belong to you...

You know, about two hours into it, I had the exact same thought.

Dem bitches owed it to me! (Actually, the girl at the front desk would have been quite acceptable. Rather cute.)

I started wondering if I was going to make it once my right leg started cramping up with about 45 minutes to go. I just kept thinking that some poor bastard out there was having a worse time of it than me somewhere on the planet. I remembered the story of General "Devil" Dan Sickles at the battle of Gettysburg where he got his leg blown nearly off by a cannon ball and he bent down, cut through the remaining meat with his pocket knife, severed the leg completely and then led the charge into the Confederate lines.

I was thinking that that had to have sucked worse than my 45 minute leg cramp, so I got through it okay.

This is what an Open MRI looks like, in case anyone was wondering...

Were you given Contrast?

That shit makes me nauseated. But only for a few minutes.

I have only had to endure CT scans. It's sort of like being slid into a giant donut. I hear a recorded voice telling me, "Hold your breath." It spins around me, slides me out, and says, "Breathe." Then it repeats.

It always burns inside my gut and bladder, like I have to take a very hot leak, but never made me feel ill.

Yeah, CTs are cake. I've done a few and it's only a few minutes.

I'd like to meet the designer of a closed MRI and stand on his neck.

Since this is the official brain cancer/tumor thread I thought I'd post this here.

My dad has been fighting a terminal form for a while now. They gave him 12-24 months and this Dec will be 24 months and he's doing better now than a year ago. These things come and go and are completely unpredictable but I'm planning a big thing in Dec if he might/could make it.

That said out of the blue he told my mom (his ex) that "It doesn't matter. I'll be dead in 3 weeks. Do whatever you want."

????

Now in all fairness, he hates her. I'm not a big fan myself. But he's a very positive minded guy and for him to spit that out...odd.

You know what? It sucked.

So if I post anything mean or nasty to anyone tonight, it's not my intention to do so.

Sounds like a hearty cock punch is in order. Maybe not the inventor of the MRI inventor, but somebody needs a cock punch.

And it looks like the rash I was told about has hit me. It's on my face mostly. Look away... I'm hideous!
