MRI

Well, there we go, that's that done.
For all the worrying, sleeplessness and bad dreams (when I got to sleep, that is), it was never the test itself which was worrying me, but the results of the test, and how the test itself sort of represents the first steps on a path that could lead to very bad news... Still the test itself was fine. I had four quick scans (two at 1o seconds apiece, and one each at 150 seconds, one at 240 seconds) and I actually found the process oddly relaxing. Although you are completely enclosed in the machine, the lack of distraction and overwhelming noise is actually very relaxing; the noise being so loud that you almost fall into it, and are embraced by it, if that makes sense. Plus they give you headphones so you can listen to the radio if you like! So yeah, I quite enjoyed the test actually, and now I just have to wait three or so weeks for the results, and that's the scary part!
We also got the report for my employers today, and we gave that a swift once over, just to make sure it wasn't saying anything unpleasant. Actually that was a surprise as well, 'cos reading it I got the impression that Dr Trounce was far more concerned than he'd been letting on, but then I guess that's what doctors are supposed to do eh?
We had been planning on maybe going to the movies after all this, but Ronnie's flu is still getting the better of her, so we came back home and she's been in bed for the rest of the afternoon, while I've been pottering about, feeding everyone, tidying up and finally having a little play on LEGO Star Wars II! 'Tis happy indeed.
