A quick update on me

[mrs.jacinthe]

I had my heart MRI today. If you've never had one, it is a surreal experience. You're basically wrapped up in swaddling and tucked in the MRI tube, where you spend 45 minutes holding your breath on and off, then get contrast and do the whole breath-holding-swaddling thing again. Being a swimmer sure came in handy, though - it was just an extra long hypoxic set.

Also, I may or may not have dozed off twice in the machine. Once *while* holding my breath. Lol.

Anyhow, I don't get results for possibly a week. In the *entire* UC Davis system, they only have two radiologists who read cardiac MRIs. So how long I wait depends on how busy they are.

In other news, R got laid off yesterday with zero warning. So, good thoughts are needed - this is a lousy time to lose health insurance.

[Wines Not Whines]

I'm so sorry about your husband's job. I hope you get good news on the MRI and job fronts.

[jene]

I'm so sorry about R's job. I hope everything comes back good on both

[cole]

I'm so sorry about your H's job. Tons of good thoughts to you and R. I hope the MRI results come back with good news.

[pixy0stix]

I'm sorry about your H's job.

The only time I ever remotely felt like passing out was when they did heart contrast during an MRI on me. Luckily it was at the end and they were able to pull me out pretty quickly after they got their images.

[bostonmichelle]

I'm so sorry about R's job loss.

I hope you get your results back quickly and R finds a new job soon.

[sadlebred]

Sending all the positive thoughts your way! I am very sorry to hear about R's job....and keeping my fingers cross for good results from the cardiac MRI!

[gt7301b]

Thinking of you right now. I really admire your attitude and spirit throughout all of this.

[thom]

Definitely thinking of you right now. I hope the MRI news is good, and I hope your H can find a new job fit soon. Make sure you've got the info for COBRA if needed. Hope it doesn't get crazy expensive.

[goldengirlz]

Sending good thoughts that you get good news.

And I'm sorry about your H's job. That sucks a lot.

Well, crap. I'm so sorry re: R's job Fingers crossed he finds an awesome new one soon, and that those docs get to your MRI sooner rather than later.

[Susie]

This was not the update I was hoping for! So sorry to hear about your H's job. We went through something similar last summer (with Calvin's job) and it was really difficult. Sending you lots of hugs.

What are the possible results of the MRI? Like, is it possible that the radiologist could say that nothing is really wrong at all?
