:: Dinner is served ::

Ever since we had the dinner table, everyone can be properly seated and have a nice meal. It used to be meals in front of the TV but now we could have a proper setting. Good postures, great exchange of informations on what happened to everyone throughout the day.. Other than sharing those serious medical knowledge, we had our usual dose of laughter as funny incidents never failed to happen to any one of us. If not, silly thoughts on things.

Like for today, the subject on MRI Scans came up.

MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging.  This type of scan uses magnetism to build up a picture of the inside of the body instead of X-rays. more here

Bakkusan and I had the chance to go to the MR room before. First,we had to sign a form clarifying if we’ve had previous surgery or any sort of metal placed within our body cavity. There have been cases of which someones pacemaker melted in the room, another case had a clip that is used for managing aneurysms melting too causing the patient to bleed to death.

So, you could imagine the strength of the magnet in that scan machine. Bakkusan and I were of course worried if our brooch on the hijab would get caught by the magnet thus causing us to fly across the room and get stuck! So, to be safe, we took it out and just tied our hijab ‘duck-style’.

Since there’s 5 silly girls eating dinner together, it’s no surprise that anything serious can be humorous instantly.

Bakkusan forgot to take of her earrings that day and we burst out laughing imagining her ears being pulled apart. Then, someone asked, ‘what if we’re wearing a wired bra?’

Now in my head, a scene from Spirited Away came to mind. The part when Chihiro was told to come in by that old lady.

Heh 😛
