MRI today

On Fri I had a panic attack in the MRI. Seriously - I tried twice to do it and just couldn't. I'm too big - the space is too small!!! So I have an appt today at CDI where Michele works for an open sided MRI - which I have had before and was fine. I will be so glad to get this over and then find out what is up.

3pm today. And THANKS to Michele for helping me get in so quick and at a discount for my out of pocket.

The Nordin breakfast was fun - it is so great just to see everyone once in awhile.

leaving work around 3:30 to take T to work - take my valium and go for my MRI.

Nordin breakfast tomorrow - looking forward to it. Don and I might do another drive - Sun I am getting a massage. Can't wait!!

Thanks for all the calls, texts, emails and prayers.

MRI delay

So late yesterday afternoon I get a call from the clinic that I have to reschedule due to no staff (called in sick). SERIOUSLY!?!? So my new appt is for Fri at 5:30 CST. If that one falls through I am going to CDI where Michele works - hell with what it costs; I want to know what is up.

medical update

so I met with a DR yesterday and will have my MRI tomorrow at 6pm CST (in case you want to think of me at that exact moment :)). The spots are very small (4mm and 5mm) definitely no tumours or anything like that. So..... she didn't seem to worried..... but I don't suppose they do anyway. Don't want to freak out the patients. I had a mini-breakdown yesterday (1 minute or so), otherwise I am fine, slightly worried but fine. It will be, what it will be, and then I will have to deal with it.

And they did up my bp meds for now.

Of course because I'm a fixer/problem solver I have already thought of various directives I would have to write down for folks depending on the outcome of my MRI.

I still have the damn headache (6 days now). And my feet are tingling at this moment.

love you all and thanks for all the support!!

weekend

Fri I went to the Dr as I had been feeling funny for a few days - assumed my blood pressure meds needed to be adjusted. They sent me for a head CT and I ended up being at a DDR until 9 pm. They found 2 small spots in the white matter of my brain - could be no big deal - could be MS. I have to go in for an MRI now to get a better pic.

Sat - went to Abbey's soccer game and not much else.

Don got the Halloween stuff out - I need to take some pix and post.

Sun - we went for a drive to Red Wing - had lunch at a great cafe. Yellow Tuna sandwich on sunflower bread (panini style) with fresh fruit, kettle chips, and carrots. SO GOOD! Smokey Row Cafe in downtown Red Wing. Home of the Jenny Lind bakery!!

So please think good thoughts and prayers for me as I continue on with the doctors.
