Jackson's brain
I had my MRI scan earlier today and this is my artists impression of what the vets saw, revealing my innermost thoughts:
As you can imagine they were very impressed!
Now here's the science bit..
The good news is that the MRI of my brain was normal. This means that it's unlikely that I have a brain tumour, which is what was suspected. They also had another look at the degenerated discs in my neck and said they haven't got any worse. Hurrah! They took a sample of my spinal fluid for testing and we should get the results back in a day or two.
As you can imagine it's very frustrating to keep having all these tests and not knowing exactly what's wrong with me. That's why I was so delighted to see both the Astas and novice nurse Lacie this evening on my return from hospital. I've certainly been keeping them on their toes with my requests for them to wait on me hand and paw and spoonfeed me nokedli. They might be staying for quite some time...

No wonder you're such a smart boy! Look at the size of that brain! I'm glad to hear that there is no tumor in their...quite frankly, I don't know where it could fit.
Paws crossed for more good test results!

That is good news, Jackson. Even though it is still no news about what is the root of the problem, it's great that there's no tumour.
Impressive brain, though! Shoulda known it really.
Keep getting spoiled by those lovely nurses too!

Hi pal. Your brain is gigantiuan. We're glad that your brain is A-OK. You should continue to "feel poorly," so your beautiful nurses will stay to wait on you hand and foot!
My, Jackson, what a big brain you have!!!
We're so glad it's normal -- although we think "normal" is a relative thing when it comes to wirey behaviour.
Jake and Just Harry
Wow! That's one big brain, Jackson and we can see that you're thinging good thoughts!
We bet the girls won't mind hanging out with you until you're 100%!
Love ya lots,
Maggie & Mitch
Grrr we are having trouble posting a comment!! We wanted to say that your brain is HUGE(almost as big as Einsteins) and that we are pleased your MRI was noraml but miffed they can't figure it out. We are pleased you have the A-team there. Agatha would have come but she is working on her crystals and being a witch(DID I SAY THAT OUTLOUD???) Sending hugs and smoochies Archie and Agatha( oh man arch you are in a heap of trouble)
Milk that 24 nurse care I say! So glad your brain scan was positive news.
Toodle pip,

Glad that MRI turned out well, and revealed what a true genius you really are!

Jax-son, it sounds like you're still in good spirits even through all of your "tests". We never really did well on tests. But you seem to be passing each and every one of them! Hang in there buddy :-)

I am super impressed with your brain, I think we must be related! I am frustrated with you that the docs just don't know. I guess if you have to be tested over and over having the best nurses ever helps ease the pain.
Jacks!!
Love your brain pics. At first I thought you were sporting a funky afro. Glad to know there is no tumor!!!
I have no doubt that you're in good paws with your amazing nursing team! Go easy on Lacie ~ she SOO wants to do a good job for you!
Goober love & smooches,
Stanley
Well..if I were you pal, I would continue to indicate that I felt just a bit off so the girls would hang around. But then, muzzer says I am quite the maniupulator. And here I thought he was the Governator of California.
Jackson!! Big brain=smart boy! :)
I am very happy to hear that you have no brain tomour. That's really great. I'll keep praying for you!! Please be strong!! I am sure these cute nurses keep eye on your health.

Hi Jackson,
What a huge brain!! I think mine must be quite similar, cuz those things are all I think about.
Glad that the tests are coming back good so far. Just wish they could pinpoint exactly what's going on. At least you have the very lovely Astas and Lacie there to nurture you. Enjoy their care!!
Your pal,
Kirby
You are in our thoughts Jackson, I knew you were one smart dude, now that big brain proves it.
I hope you feel better soon
Balboa and mommy
Oh Jackson, I am blushing at the compliment of my nursing skills...but Asta and Asta are weally the ones doing all the hard work. It's amazing how they can get Dunstan and the other wheeled doggies to fetch supplies for us and run errands for special broths and such. Asta taught me how to make here special chicken soup...it should be ready soon for me to feed it to you.
None of us were surprised at the size of you brain. You are such a smart dear foxy dog, Jackson, that you had to have an outstanding cranuim. Pawsonally, I wonder if Scruffy has a brain at all? I mean, what if they scanned him and there was NOTHING between his ears as I strongly suspect?
We will stay as long as you need us to...it's been wonderful playing with my sweet Dunstan too...
Healing barks, Lacie
Hi, Jackson
Sure I am happy to know that you don't have a brain tumor! Looking at your picture I can see it is full of good things!
Let us know about the last result, ok?
Be nice with your lovely nurses!
Have a good night

Oh Jackson, we are doing a jig in your honor - so happy to learn no tumor in your big brain! What good news! And no deterioration in your discs - also good news. Hurrah. Continued prayers - milk those nursies for all they're worth. Enjoy brudder.

Jx,
You have a giant brain. You must be extraordinary and smart. Remind you to keep low profile, or doctors may catch for scientific investigation. Glad to hear your result OK.
Kisses,
Pinky.
Glad to find you back home once more with a bevy of nurses too!
With an intellect yours, you'd need a HUGE healthy brain!

Hi Jackson,
I saw you had tests for Cushings and an MRI for your brain.
I am a 9 1/2 year old Irish Terrier who suddenly had two seizures this month and will have those tests very soon.
What do you think?
