Left Knee Saga







   I went today for the scheduled MRI of my knee, as per the Signature protocol.  (I can't help but wish the 3D Printer version of knee implant was more widely available at the present, but so it goes.)  I remembered last year when I had the MRI at the same facility, I did not like the experience I had there, and told myself I would not return. But it happens that this is the only place for the particular type of MRI, so here I am.  The tech introduced herself as Diane, and I told her of my concern about last year, when the fan was not running during the whole body scan, and the temperature rose to an uncomfortable level, discomfort heightened when no one responded when I spoke through the mike in the machine.  She said she would be there, and that the fan would be running.  Another tech appeared, the same "Maria' from last year.  So the MRI went smoothly, no problems at all , and the techs both seemed much friendlier than from last year, though Maria didn't say much at all.  Diane did say the my knee "was in pretty bad shape' so I guess that's good in a way.
