Yup. My brain is humongous.
I had a brain MRI a few months ago at the hospital. (Everything was fine). It was pretty boring. I had to lay in a big doughnut-shaped machine for about forty-five minutes or an hour without moving at all. I thought it wasn’t humanly possible to not move for so long, but it turned out I was able to lay still the entire time. So, it can be done. It is possible.
ANYWAY, I had a chest x-ray last week (everything was also fine), and after it, I went and picked up copies of them, along with copies of my brain x-rays. Also, I requested a CD to be mailed to me with all the x-rays on it, and it arrived a couple of days ago. It’s amazing. Here’s one of my favorites:
There was some text covering up the outer border of the image, so i removed it… so that’s why it looks weird in some places (especially the top of my skull near the date).
Why is this x-ray one of my favorites? Because it shows nearly everything, except my nose. I finally have proof that I have eyes, teeth, and a brain. Also, I didn’t realize how big my eyeballs are. They are massive. Nor did I realize how much of the space of my skull that my brain actually took.
So, the morals of this story?
- Lying still in any machine for 45 minutes is totally worth it if it results in an x-ray of your brain.
- My brain and eyeballs are awesomely huge.
Whoa. Your brain is the coolest brain I've ever seen.
