Had a brief scary moment

Well yesterday i finally got the MRI/MRA done that the dr ordered because of the possible TIA's.  They did use contrast as I thought they would. All in all it took about 45 minutes and I was doing o****il the last 10-15 minutes.  I am clostrophobic to begin with, but after laying still for so long on my back I was getting uncomfortable and my legs jerk at will, not something I can control. The tech told me that each time I moved my legs that the pictures were comming out blurry and I needed to lay very still.

It was her hips that were feeling like they were going to break apart, or back hruting from the pressure of the body weight on the thin slab I was laying on.  Any way I made it through.  After getting home there was voice mail to call the imaging center right away.  I began to panic. thinking they had found something seriously wrong.  I called and they told me I needed to come back for more pictures.  More panic.  I got there and they had forgotten about 10-15 more minutes of pictures.

So I had to lay there for another 10-15 minutes.

They didn't indicate what if anything the test showed.   Will know when I see the Doc on Tuesday.


I hope they got my good side on film

lol

Lori, so sorry for your moment. I had to have an IVP done Tuesday and I had the contrast too. I got rally scared because they kept taking more and more pictures. I told the tech you all said it would be about 30 minutes why so long. She said they needed more images. I am so worried and I think maybe my weight might have made me need more images taken. I wish they had just told me that since now I am worried like crazy.

I can totally relate.  I an terrified that the scan showed something really bad.   I think they needed more pics because so many may have been blurry actually.  I hope that is all that it is.

Zell won't even let me look at motorcycles until the health issues are resolved. lol I don't blame him though.

What I am finding scary is that I sometimes speak when I am thinking and don't remember speaking.  IE. Last week end I was thinking of asking Zell if he was getting hungry and ready for breakfast.  Then a few minutes later I heard my self ask him and he told me I had asked him that already and I had not recolection of asking.  I burst into tears and coiled into his arms.  That was so freightening.


I hope you IVP comes out ok.

 awwwww....that is sweet.....Zell is a great guy :)  I like 'em hairy so you better hold tight ;)

 Julie, i think taking more pictures is of course because of the weight.  i know when I had ultrasounds, they had to work hard and dig deep to get clear pictures when i was pre-op.  I wouldn't take it to heart nor be afraid of what they find.  it's just they have to go a further distance to get what they need, that's all.

 I'm sending you good thoughts and vibes!!!  I hope everything is alright!

Aaron, Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts. I too hope all will be ok. I knew in my heart it was because of my weight. I just wish they had said it. I could have accepted it better than just them saying oh the Doc needs more pictures. I am praying and trying to stay positive. Thanks again for the thoughts and vibes. BTW you have done an amazing job with your weight loss.. CONGRATS.....
