zero chance I could do 1 hour in an MRI much less 2. My now tri-monthly brain MRI's are 20 minutes long and my neck/shoulders/arms are all numb from it.

I had an EEG today , tech said I passed it with 'flying colors'. This time they were not fucking around: They TRIED to give me a seizure. The flashy lights? This time with my eyes open. Then had me hyperventilate for 3 minutes (which is harder than it sounds). I asked the tech what did that show her and she said 'it can cause seizures'. Guess the Keppra does it's job. Good job big Pharma?

Have had a lot of ~45min MRIs since I was like 13. Every single time, they always gave me a heavy blanket to go in with. Fuck that, if they didn't give you one. Agree, the music they give you you can never actually hear, lol.

had my first mri in like a decade a few months ago on my back. while walking quickly to machine, the lady was rapidly telling me all this stuff. she asked "what kind of music do you like?" i was like what? she then said we have 17 choices, country, pop, rock, classic rock etc. while guessing 80-00 metal/thrash wasn't going to be an option, just said classic rock. they put like 70's style wired headphones on me. even with those on, could barely hear.

they had to put this weird cage thing over my chest, idk if they could of put a blanket under the cage or what, I was also wired up with a bunch of monitors as well, like EKG but not exactly an EKG, so the machine could time the images to the moments when my heart wasn't beating so it could get clear images. basic google search it looked something like this:

This week in "What's Rustlin' Haus?"

Coming to the realization that the Dentist I went to to get a lot of dental work done 20 years ago sucked ass. I'll admit I'm not the best dental patient, at the time I had an insane phobia of dentists, to the point I basically had to knock myself out on diazepam to make it through getting work done, and because of that hadn't been to a dentist in a decade before that until meeting Mrs. Haus Mrs. Haus and her getting me to get things done. But I had 3-4 wisdom teeth come in perpendicular, impacting molars and damaging shit, and I never noticed because apparently for some reason I feel almost no pain in my teeth. That was 20 years ago. He had to get those out, pull 3 of 4 back molars which were terminally destroyed, and do a couple root canals, and a couple fillings, for other issues I had going on. (Yeah, I might as well be considered honorary British with this grill..)

Fast forward a little over 20 years...

Have a crown come off when eating, I didn't realize until I bit down on something. Not only did the crown come off, the one chew caused it to impact the tooth under it which had a filling. Apparently that filling wasn't done well/in the modern fashion, and it caused that tooth to crack which I didn't realize at the time. Go in to a new dentist, who honestly seems cool, explains shit well, and for some reason I don't get knotted up with paranoia walking in... He scans shit, and comes back showing me the horror show in my mouth. Root canaled tooth is going to have to be filled down and the build up redone because there was never really enough of a post for the crown to adhere to well. Tooth under it is broken up to the point that it's now going to have to have a root canal as well. To his credit he's able to pull all this off without me really feeling a damn thing. He shows me the crown on the other side, and points out "see how whoever put this on left this little gap here between the tooth and the crown on this side? That's wrong, there should be a tight seal. It will have to be replaced at some point, we'll figure that out next..."

In the ensuing week waiting for the perm crowns to arrive for the left side of my mouth the crown on the right side pops off while I'm eating that most vile of foods and my guilty pleasure.... Nerd's Gummy Clusters. The crown has a chunk of the tooth still glued to it... I figure it means he'll have to now do that work.

Go back in, he agrees, that he'll have to clean things up , rebuild the build up, and get a new crown. He gets 5 minutes in on it and stops. Wheels his chair back and says "Dude, there's not enough tooth left in there to work with. The gap let shit get under the crown and essentially ate the tooth from the inside. Let me refer you to an oral surgeon..."

Oral surgeon consult goes smoothly, but now, even with insurance, I'm going to be out around $3k for this implant.

My old dentist I can't even find in N. Texas any more, so he's either gone out of business, moved, or retired.... And he sucks.

Is this incomplete, or are you missing like 4 teeth?
Three of my four back molars were destroyed because of how impacted they were from my wisdom teeth, this happened some time in the very early 2000's and I didn't have the cash to think about implants for them all, so I'm just dealing with those back couple on the bottom not being there. Only back molar I have left is upper right. It also caused a change in my jaw disposition over time, leading to a snoring issue and stuff, but that's another story and not nearly jimmy rustling territory. heh

Odd bit would be that when that back bottom left crown came off (with a chunk of tooth) as an interim work around I reaffixed the crown using a thermally moldable plastic called "Instamorph". I used too much plastic so pressed the overage back behind the crown and gave myself a DIY bridge essentially... It's "holds on" to the solid tooth in front of it, and is removable...

My MRIs are about an hour and a half. Head, neck, spine, with and without contrast. I take a nap. I take a muscle relaxer and some sort of pain pill before it.

I've never been offered a headphone, no way I would listen to someone elses playlist. They most likely wouldn't have my type of music and I'm extremely picky on what I listen to. It's maybe 50/50 that I listen to music that's younger than I am. Sometimes I have a MRI at a private hospital and they have an attendant/nurse or whatever she is sit in a chair reading in the room why I have the MRI done. Always seems odd to me since the guy running the MRI is behind the window and he can talk to you while you are in the machine.

I take a 15mg Oxy and a muscle relaxer right before. It all still numbs out. I do ear plugs for the MRI's. Last one I had it in so far the dude had to get tweezers to get it out.

So Tuesday night.... just before dinner is ready.... My sister texts me. She and my brother in law live with my mother in the "family house" in E. Dallas.

My mom's blood pressure is going off the reservation (scored a new high score of 235/114). I tell her some basics of things to do, (get her sitting up, have her drink some water, take an additional of one of the BP medicines the Dr said we could throw on if something like this happened) and to call me back in 30 minutes.

30 minutes later, still in "Hypertensive Episode" territory on the BL (Systolic over 200). So I drive over from my house, to pick up my mom and take her to the hospital. Why didn't my sister take her you ask? Well because my sister, in her 50's, living at home with her mother has had no source of income for over a year now, and neither has my brother in law, who also lives there. And neither of them have a car.

So I just got home from spending all night in an emergency room while Dr's basically admitted they had no idea why her BP was so high, and just gave her dose after dose of hydrazaline until it went down. Then advised us to double one of her other BP meds and call her regular Dr tomorrow...

For those who seem to have their jimmies rustled by the length and verbosity of my posts.....

TLDR; Triple Crown of Pissed Off Haus...
  1. Haus had to sit up all night with his mom in an emergency room
  2. Emergency room Dr was all but useless
  3. Haus has a Sister and Brother in law neither of which have any income or a car

Look on the bright side, they'll be the ones inheriting the house because they care so deeply about taking care of your mom that they live with her, so they'll have plenty of money to buy a car one day.

Actually no...
Because my grandparents adopted and raised me so legally I was their "5th kid". The house is in a living trust my grandmother set up. When the day comes my mother is no longer with us, the house falls to the remaining child, being me.
