I know it's been awhile but I swear I have been thinking about you ....
I had the MRI a week ago today. Could they make that thing any smaller? I swear my elbows were touching the sides even when I had them stretched above my head. Plus it was hot as hell in there!
HELLO - 300lbs of woman stuck in a tube! Can you at least turn on a fan?
I made the tech come over and wipe my face b/c it was so sweaty. I told him my cheeks were sweaty too and he said "uhh i hope you mean the ones on your face."
Fortunately, it was only 20 minutes long. The tech says the bigger the organ the quicker the scan is. For a toe, it could take upwards of 60mins!
The funniest part of the whole thing was that when the machine really got going ... my boobs started to throb. Turns out that breastmilk is semi-metallic and even though I haven't breastfed in months I still may have some residual milk tucked away in there. It was a very strange feeling.
And after all that .... doctor says my liver is "normal."

I'm glad your liver is clear!! I don't think I could do a closed MRI- I'm really claustrophobic.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant that your liver is 'normal.' Interesting about the breast milk too. Who knew!
ReplyDeleteHooray for a normal liver! Throbbing boobs....quite interesting stuff.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're doing good.
ReplyDeleteThat MRI sounds so uncomfortable. I once had to do a chest x ray and they squashed my boobs something fierce between two metal plates. If that's a taste of the mammogram experience, well, just great ;-(
