I’ve had a lot of MRIs in the lead up to, and following the discovery of a SCI and something in my lower spine called “tarlov cysts”
I don’t know why, but I now find the sounds the machine makes comforting. I’ll often play YouTube videos of MRIs operating for background noise now and my partner thinks it’s super odd. She doesn’t find it pleasing at all, but I find it very pleasing. I find it soothing.
