Three hours in a machine!

I found out that a full spinal MRI takes about three hours, and they do it in parts over two days so you don't go crazy. It wasn't that bad, but the brain MRI is quicker and more enjoyable. Also, you can't use your insulin pump when you're in the MRI screening room (metal objects...huge magnets...not a good combination), so being disconnected from insulin for over an hour didn't do great things to my blood sugar.

(In the interest of full disclosure, this post was actually written on 1/28/09.)
