beneath the surface

on tuesday i had both an x-ray and an MRI performed on my ankle; i sprained it badly about two months ago when we were on hajj, and i finally had it checked out last week.

lying there with my foot in the MRI machine, i had 45 minutes during which i had to keep my leg perfectly still and just wait for the imaging to be over. i began thinking about how amazing tools such as MRI's and x-rays and ultrasounds and CT scans really are. something is wrong with my ankle and like magic we can see beneath the surface and find the problem. we peel away the disguise of skin and see the hidden.

isn't it amazing?

MRIs and CT scans are great, but let me tell you, from personal experience, X-ray specs--now that's the business. Your blog rocks. Hope your ankle gets better.
