Oh my gosh, I had no idea how loud and claustrophobic the MRI machine is! I had one today on my cervical spine and my hip. I have a pinched sciatic nerve and other mysterious pains in my right hip and leg, and my lower back. I know it's from carrying Peanut. I always carry her sitting on my right hip. It just doesn't work on my left hip! I've been going to PT for the pain for over a month with no relief, so I was sent for an MRI today.
Wow ... it's LOUD! And you have to lay perfectly still. In a position that was triggering the exact pain. OUCH! 17 minutes for the spine scan, and then 17 more minutes for the hip scan. I was practically in tears by the time they were done.
Now I understand why we sedate Peanut before we MRI her!!
We used to revel in the "new perfect" that was our life. Raising a beautiful girl with multiple special needs showed us that "perfect" is all in our minds. Emily's life was perfect. It was happy, it was brilliant. She was social, outgoing, silly, and ticklish. Now we are learning to get through life without our "Perfect Peanut" in it. This is most certainly NOT a new kind of perfect.

Do you have the results?
We'll be praying.
No results yet. Hopefully by tomorrow! The dr thinks I have a bulging disc or something. Waiting anxiously now for results.
