Had my MRI today

[taratru]

obviously nothing to report, I'm just feeling chatty after not being on all day because I was AT SCHOOL.  Gross.    It wasn't bad.  I only had to go in up to my hips or so...all I kept thinking was how glad I was that my head was out, because that thing is like a COFFIN.  What if my 3 year old needed an MRI?  Do they knock them out?  Anyhoo...

I see the doc on the 22nd.  I'm going to just keep hitting the gym and working out, go to Tink and run the 10k and half the best I can with this fitness and then see what he says.  I'm getting excited...it's weird to say "hey, I'm going to California next Friday!"  

Anyone else have a fun day?

I took an anti-anxiety pill when I had my neck and shoulder done. I had to go in all the way. At first I thought I was going to die!

Yeah, I can see where some that would help.  I mean, I was nervous just looking at it!

I ran outside today before the frigid cold starts tomorrow, that's all I've got.

Oh, I've just been here screaming at my TV all night. Holy stressful football game. Go Noles!! I'm going to be so tired tomorrow.

I find the MRI relaxing, even when I had my shoulder done and I was in all the way. I guess it's nice to have some time where I'm not doing anything. I think I fell asleep once.

This was my experience, although for my knee, I only had to go up to my chest. I just closed my eyes & relaxed. The loud banging isn't too relaxing though.

I had a brain MRI, and I had to close my eyes because seeing the top of the tube so close freaked me out. With my eyes closed I was fine though as long as I didn't think about the massive machine inches away from crushing me, and I also found it weirdly relaxing despite the noises. I think they do knock kids out, but I'm not sure.

Hope your results come back with something that you can fix reasonably quickly!

Looking fwd to news on that! Tink is going to be so fun regardless.

I spent all day yesterday in the house, afraid to even take DD to the park across the street in case I had an emergency bathroom situation come on. That sucked a little. We busted out the wii sports for the first time with her, which was cute

Lucky you re: having to only go into your hips.. For the life of me, I can't understand WHY I had to go ALL THE WAY IN for my lower back.. omg, i thought I would D-I-E!!!

I think I blogged this, but I melted down when they attempted the first MRI. The next morning they tried it again and gave me xanax before - this MRI tech was WAY better, he put me in feet first, so my head only had to be a little ways in.

I do not understand why they are so damn loud.

Sending you good wishes! Hope you get the answers you are seeking.

When I had my MRI of my neck I kept falling asleep, which caused me to twitch, which meant I had to redo it. I had to lay there with my eyes open and count to myself to stay awake for 30 minutes. It was a pain.

Have fun at your races!
