I got through *both* MRI's yesterday. Brain & throacic. First half without contrast, & 2nd half with. I've never had two MRI's back to back like that. Seemed like it took forever! But I am GLAD I did both the same day & they are now behind me. It was almost two hours total in that wonderful machine. (Bang, bang, bang, bang!) lol
They told me the results to the MRI's should take no longer then 2 or 3 days. I just pray they don't find anything. My upper back is still killing me! Hopefully I will find out Wed or Thrus what the problem is. I will let you all know when I find out.

Margerie, I laughed so hard at your comment. Your right...I just LOVE that when they tell you to relax. Absolutely hilarious as you said. I don't care what test, scan I have...they ALWAYS say that. Too funny!

Thanks to all for the support.
