Hiya Anne Marie!

One more thought that I forgot...and I think could be important :)

Before the first MRI I had, they called me at home to confirm the date 
and time the day before, and asked some questions.  One that they 
asked was if I had ever been exposed to metal grinding.  That 
surprised me because, in fact, I HAD!  (worked one yr in a custom 
circular saw shop).  They immediately had me come over for an x-ray of 
my eyes/head to make sure that no specks were still in my eyes. 
Now...this surprised me because it was 10 yrs earlier that I had 
worked there.  I was told that they specks could be in my eyes, cause 
no damage or problems, I wouldn't even know they were there.  But if 
they did the MRI, it could "pull" the specks around/out and damage my 
eyes!!!

Make sure you remember this!

Good luck,

Ruthie
