MRI

As many people know an MRI is where they stick you in a tube and take pictures. I have never had an MRI. But this was different because I had to lie facedown. Which I thought would be better. 
I didn't sleep the night before, I kept thinking about going in that tube thingy. 

I got to the appointment early. I didn't bring knitting to work on while waiting, I did bring a book to read. I was worried about wearing the wrong thing or forgetting to take my toe rings off. I did remember to take off my toe rings. 
The first thing they did was get an EKG. Then they took me into the MRI room. I was glad to see the tube didn't have a door to close it off. 
I had to lie face down. there is a bar with a not very cushiony cushion for my breast bone to rest on. I had to have an IV. I don't like needles. I was praying for strength and calm. 
I got settled, they did give me a panic button in case I needed to leave the machine. then I was put in the tube. I had headphones on where they could talk to me and I could hear music. (I picked the 80's but sadness, they did not play Bon Jovi, oh well)
They told me they were starting. I had no idea it would be loud. Really loud. I could hardly hear the music. I had to move my hand.  They didn't want me to move my arm because I might move what they needed to see. It was ok to turn my hand. Half way through the bar started to hurt. But I had to lie still to finish. I didn't want to make it last any longer. The loud noised continued when they were taking the pictures. They put a contrast dye in the IV. I could taste it. 
Finally they said they were done. And I was pulled out. I needed help getting off the table. For the rest of the day, my chest was sore. 
This was my reward for making it through.

They called that night saying they looked at my results. They found another mass that caused concern now we need to figure out a time for another biopsy. Not what I had wanted to hear at 6:45pm on a Friday night. 
I was so thankful that I had a friend I could text and talk to her about what they had found. 
Many prayers are still needed.
