MRI SCAN!

-
That was fun.

Head in cage. Ear plugs in (NO music). 45 minutes of laying still - for someone who can't stop moving, that was a challenge in itself!!!

Roughly 30 minutes in my mouth was dry, i had to have a drink. I pressed the "emergency" button and they were straight in there, like a shot. I had a sip of my drink and laid back down - away we went for the rest of the scan.

Bottom line is - I DID IT! I have cancelled SO many brain scans over the years, in fact, once i got there, laid on the bed, head in cage and i was only slid in a bit, just couldn't cope with it.

I think mentally improvements ARE happening. Slooooooowly, but still - who cares, right? Something IS better than nothing.

Cannot wait for tomorrows colpscopy now... whoop! It's does mean (much to my disappointment), i have a 3 hour wait between hospital appointments, so a little bit of retail therapy will have to happen! Such a shame..... ;)

Proud of you Sarah! Well done Lovely, that must have been quite a test for you. Hey, you've been coming along in leaps and bounds lately. Your progress is amazing.

Good luck with the coloscopy tomorrow. Urgh, not fun I know. Still, no different to a smear really, and I'll be thinking of you as I'm going for one tomorrow too. Crapper! Scared!

Oh PS. If you do make your blog private, can I still read or do I have to mail to your waiting list?

:) good vibes and happy thoughts xx

From the mouth of an EX agoraphobic

-
A friend of mine yesterday pointed out what a person had written on their blog about being agoraphobic. Said person is an EX agoraphobic...this is what was said. "Agoraphobia is a selfish state of mind. Its completely "curable", and yet some people just wallow in their own self-pity and will never ever get over themselves and recover. When you are so worried about yourself all the time, how can you possibly be a good mother to someone else? Or a good wife/girlfriend/friend? I've unfortunately been the agoraphobic, and I've been the agoraphobics friend. As the friend, it was miserable. Nothing was ever about anything else but them. It was annoying and frustrating. And completely in their hands to change it, but they wouldn't. Because they're too selfish and self centered. Those aren't qualities people like in a person." Opinions please?

I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug
