Due for one of these on my spine. I'm grateful to be having it, but I hate the darn things. They are like noisy coffins!

I think I'll dress up as Spock and pretend I'm bording the Starship Enterprise. Beam me up Scotty!

When I had my spine MRI it was soon after Tim Peake went up to space - I imagined I was him!

about 20-30 mins, I had a buzzer in my hand, but thought I don't want to stop, delay progress and have to go back into the machine.
