under the magnet :)
yup, yesterday i got an MRI done on my left knee, at Mt. Auburn Hospital. It was pretty weird..i'm glad i'm not claustrophobic or anything--it would be torture if i was! Basically what happens is you're slid into this hollow casing, and then you hear these strange sounds (first this clicking sound, and then this loud blaring noise). It's so loud that they give you a pair of headphones with music to listen to (because you have to bear it for half an hour). You also have to remain perfectly still for the whole time (30 minutes in my case). It wouldn't have been so difficult if my various limbs didn't keep falling asleep!
Anyways, the people there were really nice..everything was over pretty fast (i got there at 5:15pm, and was out by 6:00!) I took the T back to SP where Michael was waiting, and we had our dinner of chicken apple sausages + wild rice mix(prepared by me!!) :) Then we took all our stuff to Ashdown (i biked).
Oh, and right before the MRI, Michael & I went and saw "Supersize Me" at Loews Theater in Harvard Square. It was $9 (no matinee price, apparently on weekends only the first showing of the day gets that) but it was still worth it. I already was aware of the obesity epidemic in the US (and how junk food was mostly to blame) but this movie really brought the point home. It was also really cool how it was directed, produced by the guy who starred in it...it must be so great to create a movie and then have it make millions (and also influence so many people)!
And off the subject-- my knee seems slightly better..the improvement is really slow though. It seems like it's improving by like 5-10% everyday..so it's hard to tell. argh!
