MRI was a success!!!! 8/6/08
Well, yesterday I finally got through the MRI. They say they got good images so Hooray!!!It was quite the ordeal. Between orderlies, radiology staff, MRI staff and the anesthesiologist there must have been 10 people involved in making it happen. The big problem was that in order to do general anesthesia, they have to intubate. And since I have to lay prone and there are equipment parts in the way, intubation is difficult at best. The anesthesiologist figured it out though. So they put me to sleep, inserted the tube and about 3 or 4 hours later I woke up with a sore throat but apparently none the worse for the wear. One really odd thing though. When I woke up, the polish was removed from my index and ring finger on my left hand. I have no clue why!!! :D oh well.Now we wait for the report to get done, then I will meet with my surgeon and we will go from there.I'm still hanging in there but feeling pretty worn out.Thanks again to all of you for your support, and now that my chorale family knows the scoop, I feel even more lifted up.
