MRI

Had my MRI on Wednesday. Assuming that I will find out the results on Monday or Tuesday. Surgery is scheduled for May 3rd. The Doctor replaced his nurse. (thank GOD) The MRI sucked. I tried to pretend it was a tanning bed. Sometimes when I lay completely flat I find that it's hard for me to breathe. Don't know if that is a side effect of surgery.

The clinic called me and told me I have the following appointments on the 23rd of April.

0830 ENT. Going to attempt to look at my vocal cords and see if they are functioning properly. Told me they can do it really easily if I don't have a strong gag reflex. ( I DO) The woman said if I do they will spray something in my throat and then stick a little camera down there. Sounds easy enough.

0900 Surgeon. She said check up and physical. I just had one, plus a whole body scan, an MRI a Sestimibi scan and a shitload of bloodwork. I am wondering what else they need to check. LOL

1000 Anesthesia. Last time they made my appointment, I showed up, the Doc came to talk to me and then I went to surgery. I guess I don't mind them being anal about every little detail. This will be radio-guided minimally invasive surgery. The incision should be a few CM. I will not be under general, I will have a twilight sleep and I was jumping for joy because last time the only thing that bothered me was my throat from being intubated. HOORAY!!!!!

Will update when I have something to add. :)

Happy Easter everyone. I am working, hopefully no one will be fighting with their families. I hate to arrest people on a HOLIDAY. LOL
