I thought mri’s were a no go for guys that did a lot of metal work?
Last time they scanned me with a high tech metal detector. Took a piece of prob grinding wire wheel piece out. Better than being sucked out I guess!
Wife cannot have one at all she has a nerve stimulator in her spine.
Morning all,
I think I had an MRI when my back blew up... but I don't have any notable memories.

Sorry I can't help you here. I always fall asleep.
They do offer ear plugs if the rapid fire noise bothers you.

In, years of grinding and welding, you get to where you don’t really notice it.
Tell them that they will scan you fast. Would seriously suck having all the steel ripped from your body. Or you can get stuck to the side and go for a ride!
30 minutes last time I did mine. I finally went to a place that had the open style MRI machine...GREAT!!
Like you though eyes closed easy breathing and think about a happy place.

Roger that!
Cal them today they might have to schedule it first.
Good morning, getting harder not to hit snooze on the alarm clock so the hitch must be winding down.
Frank they call it U-tube now. I'd still love to have a home fix it collection like yours.

I threw them away when I moved out of the house into the garage apartment
I'm not a fan of the tube, but have done so many now it's no big deal.
They are out there Craig on tempest. Grand pa died and has these book. Thats how I find mine usually. That Mopar ignition book I just got copies of is a rare bird. Best book I have ever had on it.

Hahah. Way to instill confidence there Hop!
I was in for quite a while for my shoulder. Open MRI are available at other locations and I would have had to schedule that separately and pay more. They gave me ear buds and had music on. It helped.
*** Also because of the work and hobbies I do, they told me I needed to get XRays of my eyes - for metal. They said any other metal can just get "warm". Eyes, it will remove it for you with the shortest route. Makes sure they do that ahead of time!!
I got the service manuals. I want the home repair books. I know enough to do a lot just enjoy knowing more or have a book to consult to double check.
