I had a CT scan today; took about five minutes and very comfortable.

You are not in a tube; just an open halo like machine. No noise; just a gentle hum and that's it!

Punk, what's goin' on? Haven't seen you post for weeks and now THIS!?!!?

Hope all goes well for you and the ENT gets you all fixed up.

Hey, did he leave that little camera in your sinuses? Maybe you could hook it up to a webcam so we could all get a look???

thanks for the info everyone and the links.. CT scan sounds like a walk in the park compared to a MRI..

Twink: i have had a lot going on and not much interest in posting the past few weeks.. actually March has just been a crummy busy month for me in general. ill be glad when its over..

no he didn't leave the cam up there but i am pretty sure i felt it touch my brain when he was fishing around in there.. lol

That actually sounds like good news! At least now you know for certain you still have one left!

Hope you're back on the Board in top form very soon. I miss your unique brand of fun.
