As there was only my knee to scan, it was not necessary to put my whole body into the tube. I don&#8217;t know how I would have felt as I suffer a little bit from claustrophobia. The process took about 10 minutes. You get a headset to put on, because the thing is pretty loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This morning I called the hospital to make an appointment for the next check up. I got one offered next Tuesday. They are not very fast. When I asked if I could come on Thursday or Friday, I was told, yes I can, but only if I have a lot of time to wait. I do indeed, but I&#8217;m also relying on someone who drives me. And that person does not have that much time to wait with me. Anyway, I hope that I can get rid of the crutches and the rack. My attempts to bend the knee end at about 45 degrees. There is still a lot of work waiting for me to recover full strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far I spent the time with different things. The stack of magazines is getting smaller, I started to learn Spanish, I&#8217;ve done a little research on my master&#8217;s thesis and I am working to organize my music collection \u2026 but what I hope most is, that I can start to organize my journey again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for reading, J\u00fcrgen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, April 20th, I finally had the appointment for the MRI, my first MRI.
