Good luck Chelee. It's so hard to make the decision to get it, go through it and then the evaluation. We all need to be rocks.

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.
Chelee

I hope you get good results, Chellee.
I'm glad that the MRI's are done, and hope they don't make you wait too long for the results.

I'm crossing my fingers for clean results. Hope the next bang you hear is the champagne cork for clean scan reports. Meanwhile...relax!?

Chelee, Wishing you positive thoughts and clean scans. I am a nurse and I am guilty of telling patients to relax when doing certain tests, I will have to come up with something else to say. Never gave it a thought before, but you are right they always tell me to relax when having a scan and I always think (yeah right). Have a great day!
