OH WELL

 I had a MRI procedure today.

This was to check my pituitary gland at the back of my head to ascertain whether enlargement is responsible for pressing on my optic nerves and thus causing blurred vision. If yes then I guess some sort of operative procedure will be necessary. If not then the eye lenses replacement operation scheduled in a few weeks will go ahead. This is to correct cataracts and some scarring to my lenses. This is the preferred outcome.

I've had MRIs before - once when I had the stroke and a couple of years ago when I damaged my hip tendons. This one I had today took longer and was somewhat different.

What was different about it The music Curmudgeon?

Well, I said that it took longer and was noisier.

Noisier?

Well, when I say noisier, that's more an expression that The Old Girl would use when referring to my musical preferences. To me it was quite musical.

Musical?

Well, not Mozartish or Straussish or even Neil Diamondish - it was more like something that Stockhausen, Penderecki, Benjamin Britten or Scott Walker would write and perform

Oh. Scott Walker? The one that ...

Yes, Scott Walker, the one that The Old Girl particularly hates. It sounded a bit like this (without the singing).

It also sounded a bit like Pink Floyd's 'Welcome To The Machine (also without the singing).

 Oh!

Yes Oh ... which reminds me of that great Peter Green song ...
