Okay a picture, sort of

A few days ago I said I'd post a picture of me in the hospital. Decided not to do it because I thought it was a bit too nasty looking. On the other hand I'm fascinated by the result of the crash. So I came up with this alternative. It's an MRI cross section of my head taken the day of the crash. It doesn't show blood or bruises but does show where my head was swollen, left side of the image which is right side of my head. This cross section is right around eye level. Nose is at the top and the white circle is the skull. The MRI cross sections from just a little higher on the head show pretty much no swelling. If the helmet covered more of the head, the temple & cheek, I might not have visited the hospital so long. On the other hand if a helmet covered that much it might be so hot and uncomfortable even I might not wear one. In that case a hospital visit probably wouldn't have helped.
