I went
yesterday for my blood work and my MRI.
Well the blood work went fine; the blood freely flowed (?) from my
veins. However, when it came time for
the MRI I was doing so good, I prayed and I could see an angel hovering over me
which brought me great comfort in that small tube. All the while I’m thinking “I wonder if a
spider ever crawled in here when someone was in here” Re-focus on the
angel. Before I knew it it was time to
get pulled out and get the dye injection for tracing the cancer. Well this is where it got really funky. She asked if I was de-hydrated after looking
over my arms, I said “ de-hydrated, that’s an understatement” so she couldn’t get a good vein so she
apologised and had to go in the same spot they went into for blood….that was
only the beginning. It didn’t work so
she says “well we are going to go into the back of your hand” I don’t know if you’ve ever had a needle
there but it is the most painful place I’m sure…still no vein…please understand
that these were not just in and out needles, they were ‘the veins are recoiling
so while the needles is in there lets hunt around and see if we can find one.’
That’s a lovely experience; having a needle in the back of your hand under your
skin moving around. It’s like going
hunting but for veins…anyway long story short from there we went fishing on the
wrist then discussed not getting the dye shot which would mean the image
wouldn’t be as clear; I bravely said “nope not an option we need to find one,
just make it quick.” So we switched arms
and found a wee one that couldn’t recoil quick enough so we got the little
bugger. LOL. My left hand was on ice
most of the night and all the needle sites are sort today. It’s done and now we have Wednesday to look
forward too.
