So tonight was my MRI....

I drove myself in and did my first MRI without sedation....
I was amazed that I did not get chlosterphobic, but since I
was not wearing the mask, I guess it was easier to cope with.
I will have to sedate for next weeks scan as I do have to wear
the hanibal lectur mask.

So it was my usual tech, which was nice, but, for whatever
reason, she has never done well with my IV's. It is hard
enough to get a good line in me, but I guess with the
nerves of the test, I hide even better than normal.

She couldn't find an armline, so she went for my wrist,
YAAA my favorite! Luckily she got it in one shot, but
OMG did it hurt! So she puts me in the machine, bundled
like a mummy in a blanket. I felt fine, so in I went.
As the scan started, my hand started to vibrate, and it HURT!
After about 10 seconds, it stopped, and I told her about it
over the speaker. After asking about a million questions, she
could not figure out what could cause it, and asked if I could
continue. I said yes. We went on and I was heating up...FAST..
I never like to bother them, so I didn't say anything, but when
I started sweating bullets, I had to wait until that scan was done
and use my call button. She took the blanket off and carried on.

Towards the end, my hand stated to hurt again, vibrating and
pulsing in pain. I grit my teeth and got through it. I have
never felt anything like it! I can not figure out what it was...
Maybe some sort of weird reaction because I have been
wearing jewellery more often? Or an Iron build up?
I have no idea, but it freaked me out.. big time.

Now I am scared to go in for my next scan next week.

But, some good came out of it. I went to visit our two new hedgie
roomates. A girl is moving to panama and needs a new home for
her two little hedgies. I went after my scan to meet her, and them
of course... They are such cool little critters. The girls seems
quite happy for them to come home with me. Unfortunately,
we have to wait until we move to the new house, and then will
keep them in our room until Christmas. Don't ask me how...
I have no idea yet how to keep the kids from finding them!

Oh well we will figure it out!

I am wiped, and tomorrow I am "Field trip mom"
so I am off to bed!
