Back to school three weeks tomorrow and my daughter is sick already. My husband spent his evening taking her to the doctor last night for congestion, cough, sore throat and fever. While I spent my evening at the hospital getting an MRI on my head for all of the headaches I’ve been getting. The MRI was an experience. I didn’t mind being inside the machine or how loud it was. My only complaint is that I have really deep veins and most of the time I end up with a nurse that can’t find them and she or he has to go get some one else. The two that it took last night to inject me with the dye were a little scary. As I was strapped in the machine and they poked me more then three times, I could hear them saying things like how is this one, can you inject it through this because I am going to be getting blood return any second. Or my favorite, oh no this one collapsed too. After poking me up and down my arms and on the side of wrist (that one hurts) they finally got it. My follow up with my doctor is not until Tuesday to hear all of this is just stress related. But, I’ll be sure to blog about it then.

Oh no, I feel your pain.  I don’t have deep veins but very very tiny veins.  Blood always has to be drawn out of my hand not my arms yet when I tell the techs this they’re always “oh let me try your arm first” and then it’s always “oh ya guess I do need to take it from your hand”.  Ya no joke .. isn’t that what I told you *rolls eyes*

I hope your MRI turns out ok .. at least give you an insight to what’s going on so you can feel good again!!

EEEW! That sucks, about the veins and them not finding them.  And speaking about it in that way.

I hope you and Alison get well soon.
