MRI

Today I had my first MRI. I was pretty nervous to start but it ended up being a rather pleasant experience. The tech went over everything with me and I got changed. I had to sit on this thing and lay down then he put this other part of this thing over my abdomen and strapped it down. It was almost like this cage around me. I was nervous how I'd do because I can be kinda claustrophobic. The newer ones are much different. It's a lot shorter and open on each end. He put eye patches on my eyes anyway so I couldn't see. He put headphones on since the machine is loud. They also had it hooked up so I could pick a Pandora station to listen to. I picked Jimmy Eat World. Excellent pick. Almost everything played was a song off of my ipod. Victory! It was really really really long. I was there a total of like an hour and a half. I had to stay still the whole time. I think he said the first part took longer than he planned. He anticipated like 25 min but ended up at 45 min. Then he had to pull me out but I still couldn't move except my one arm. He injected the contrast in and then I had to go another like 15 min. It was tough being that still. But it was kind of relaxing too.

So I'm not supposed to nurse 48 hrs. He said I have to pump and dump. I don't know if my pump will work enough. It was acting up last time I used it. I'll test it out tonight. But I gave Jackson formula for his nap and he took it down great. It wouldn't be the worst thing if I have to wean now. It's longer than I went with Charlotte. She weaned herself at like 9 months. So the tech said they'd get the results to my dr by the afternoon. So nice for it all to be done so quick. And at a decent price.

So then I got a call about 2:30 from Sarah at my dr's office. She said they were setting me up to meet with my dr at noon Friday. It looks like I'm going to need surgery. I have no idea how soon. I just know it's gonna happen. Which I figured. The cysts are sitting behind my uterus and down by my bowel. So I should find out more detailed info tomorrow. I kind of want to get surgery before Christmas. At least as long as they're not attached to my bowl. Because then there might be some scar tissue. But if its not the pain would probably be less than what I have now. I don't know if they'd take me over the weekend but I'd so do it. Plus Scott wouldn't have to take any work off.

So noon tomorrow I get filled in... here we go... again...
