MRI scans — What do you think?

I'm not sure that I'm supposed to be scanning these, but I paid $398 to spend an hour and a half in an MRI tube while 150 pictures of my hand were taken. I think that gives me the right to do whatever I darn well please with the film.

I wanted to point out the important stuff, but I also wanted to show you the original scan, because you can see things better on that one. The red box is my ulna. See how much shorter it is than my radius (the bigger bone)? And the green box is my lunate, the bone in question. [Edit: CLICK HERE to see what the radius/ulna should look like.]

I won't get the official results from my orthopedist until Monday afternoon, but I'd be happy to entertain your opinions until then. ;-)

And if I don't get around to saying it tomorrow, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Don't forget the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade starts at 9 a.m. EST. (The Macy's Parade is second only to the Tournament of Roses Parade, but that's not for another month!)

And a happy Turkey Day to you too, Kate.

Be sure to celebrate with your favorite episodes of MST3K.

Turkey Fact #12: Turkeys contain enough tryptophan to knock you on your Thanksgiving ass.

*sigh* I miss Comedy Central's Turkey Days.

HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Also, sorry to hear about your hand. I bet it's something weird, like the plague.

All I know is that I can definitely see why your hand is hurting. That sucks.

The overall mix of black and white with pretty little colors on right....

The blurriness of color symbols, just hinting at letters or numbers...

The strange mix of flow from bottom to top, ending in what only be described as skull in hooded sweatshirt...

The lack of grin on skull face and hollowness of eye sockets implying loneliness and gazing away into... what?

All in all, extremely powerful...
...moving...
... and oddly beautiful.

Me thank you for this.
Feel better soon.
