MRI

I know that it has been a little while since I posted.... not much has been going on. Just waiting for my MRI and then we leave to head back to Henderson, NV for the surgery, treatment, etc.

So I had my MRI today. Quite an interesting procedure. You lay down on your stomach with your breast hanging down in a couple of holes on the table, with your arms resting above your head. Your head goes into this round padded area as if you were getting a message.... Boy how I wish that was happening instead of this.... 

It was a MRI with and without contrast so I had to have an IV and they put it in my arm where they normally would draw blood from. The MRI lasted about 45 mins because they had to redo some of it, but the worst part was that when you are laying down, they have this part of the table that digs into your ribs right under your breast area. They try and put a couple of pads there but that doesn't help. After a while, I started having issues being able to breath all the way because of the constriction from the ribs.

When it was finally all done, I still had some trouble breathing. It does get better but how there is no bruising there, I have no idea. They say that the report should be done in 24-48 hours... so more waiting.

The nurse says that this was the Cadillac of machines, but that a man must have designed it. I think she is right.

PS... sorry, I just realized that I didn't actually post this so posting it now.
