So that's me right before the last MRI with the markers on my head. The MRI took about 2 1/2 hours, I did not get back to the hospital room till about 10:30PM. Holly spent the night in the room with me. I do not think either of us slept very well.

Events at the hospital on Monday
After my haircut, Holly, my sister Carol, and I went out to lunch then Holly and I headed downtown to Rush University Hospital at about 3pm. The check in was a bit emotional, and we headed to our room. This was Monday night, and I was scheduled to have another, much longer MRI to get the 3D version with fiducial markers. These markers show up on the 3D MRI on the computer, and the operating room has a camera and laser system that allows the doctor to point at something on the 3D MRI and have a laser pointer locate it on my actual brain. This is all very high tech, but looks holloweenish:
