What's on your mind? (2024)

My mom is in the enviable position of having lived long enough to see her oldest great-grandson graduate from college. Who knows, if she sticks around a few more years she may see a great-great grandkid?

Most of those will be of medical grade titanium or some other NON-FERROUS alloy for (at least in part) this reason. No iron = not responsive to magnets. Or at least, not responsive in the way that would be a problem.

They make special mention on the form of pacemakers and internal defibrillators, which have electrical circuits that would obviously be fried by an MRI for physics reasons I used to understand.

I’m very grateful it wasn’t part of the mix, although Mom had a medium-mild case of Parkinson’s, so there was a lot of forgetfulness.

I love Walter Geoffrey! Just can’t open his posts on FB at work if I’ve not turned down the volume first. :rofl:
