Fun and not fun

Fun!  We got to see a Grand and the Greats in between medical appointments.   Peach was especially friendly showing me her stick horse and her turtle dolly.  She even sat with me for a bit. 


Peach is a doll.  

Not so fun;  I had the MRI and will be seeing my Ortho PA soon to discuss the results.  That MRI is not a fun test 25 minutes and nine rock and roll songs...one of which was "I wanna get outta this place if its the last thing I ever do." I had to do some real controlled calming breathing...because I wanted to get out...what if the gals left...what if there was a power outage...what if there was a fire...thank goodness that song was number seven and I was close to getting pulled out.  Next time I will not be brave and I shall be in a medical induced coma medicated.  I am too old to be brave.

Okay might be fun. My Primary Care Dr is pleased with my blood pressure and I will have some more tests in January. 

FUN!  Going out for supper with Andy and Jen.

More fun!  Sadie!  She still loves us.

Fun.  We drove back home and voted.  

Two three more medical appointments scheduled this week.

  1. I've had 3 of those tests and that clacking is nuts! I chose to imagine myself in a space capsule travelling through time. Hubby can't deal with it.
    Hopefully the MRI gives you some results and causes for your issues.
    I spent yesterday in doctors offices too. Yawn.
    Voted.
    I did get something for us to eat at home.

  2. MRIs are no fun, that's for sure.
    Glad you had such happy things too. :)

  3. I'm sure spending time with Peach is lots of fun.
    The MRI creeps me out. I would need to be heavily medicated.

  7. Your Peach really is a doll. I would probably need to be sedated for an MRI too. I had to endure some type of cardiac scan a few years ago - done in a tube like that. It was quiet but that upper "ceiling" was way too close to my face. Controlled breathing and keeping my eyes closed was the only way I got through it.

  8. Little Miss peach is a cutie....I love that she has a stick horse. I just can not do the MRI machine. I had to have a test a few years ago... They put me in the machine and before the lady even made it to her monitor room, I was squeezing the button to get me out. I just couldn't do it. My husband had 3 different MRI test last week...😳. I hope you get some good news on your results. More importantly, I hope you feel better.

  9. I love your list. I think Peach is the best "fun". I don't mind MRI's at all. I've had several and I choose my music and then lay there and pray the entire time. In fact, once I fell asleep! I guess that says I'm not a bit claustrophobic! :-)
    And the election is over. Thank goodness!
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

  13. I tell them 'No music' and mentally go through my own playlist. The only risk is fingers twitching when I recall Beethoven's piano music.

  14. What? You didn't get to selsct your own music? I did. John Denver. I sang along in my head since I wasn't supposed to move.

  15. The last time I had an MRI I had a panic attack 3/4 of the way through and had to have a short break to recover before finishing.

  16. I have never had an MRI and hope I never get one. It sounds ghastly! But other than that, it sounds like the rest was mostly FUN!

  17. I would call your day a full day! Peach is a doll!

  18. The MRI does not sound like an experience I'd want to have. I hope you don't have to have another one ever. GM

  19. LD....I hoope the appointments can become less. When having the root canal procedure I did my best to not do what I wanted to do. The surgeon said I did a good job but I really had no choice enduring four or five long needle injections. I wish it all to be better.

  20. Oh dear, your time in the MRI reminds me of the one time I had one too....I thought of all those things just like you did. ick.
