I had another MRI last night done at 1:20am, but this one was EXTREMELY different from the last one! This time I went to the General Hospital and instead of parking in a dark parkade with no one around in the middle of the night, I parked right in front of the Main Entrance - in metered parking - with numerous nurses around. Then, instead of walking inside and not finding anyone to help me find the MRI Dept, I walked inside and talked with the parking security, who informed me that although it said I needed to pay for metered parking he doesn't give tickets so don't worry about it, and then met others as I made my way to the Admittance desk to get my hospital card. Then it was just upstairs and down the hall and TA-DA, I was there! Sooooooo, much nicer than the Civic Hospital (which I will never go to again!). There was also another nice thing about this hospital - I'd been there before because it was the hospital that Kaleb was born in - awwww - memories!
Another good part was that I didn't have to wear that horrible hockey mask thing that straps your head to the machine, but instead I just needed to wear a neck one - much less claustrophobic! And . . . instead of just listening to the machine make loud, obnoxious noises they put the radio on in my headphones - although I couldn't really hear it due to the loud, obnoxious noises, I still appreciated it. It gave me something else to concentrate on and not think about the little tiny space I was stuck in for 40 minutes.
So, now just to wait for the results. I'm pretty sure that they'll all come back normal as every other test has. Oh, just in case you didn't know I was officially diagnosed with klippel-feil syndrome a while back which is just a big way to say that my first vertebrae isn't normal and it can affect other parts of the body (so they're just making sure that it hasn't). And now all the middle of the night excursion should be over - YA!!!
