TESTING, TESTING, 1, 2, 3.

Joanne had quite the day today. She was scheduled for an MRI of her brain, an MRA of her head and an MRA with injected dye of her head and neck. If you know what it's like to have an MRI, you know it's not too much fun. She was nervous. She did a great job for the MRI witch took a little more than a half an hour. She took a short break, and ended up with a chill and a case of nerves. She was very brave and agreed to jump back in and go for the second part of the scan. This was a bout 15-20 minutes. The technician suggested that we come back tomorrow for the last part of the test which as she put it, is very long...yikes! She said most people can't do so many scans all at one time. I am very proud of Joanne, I don't know if I would be able to have an MRI. It is a little too tight for me. They took some amazing pictures. The technician said she had a beautiful brain, very bright, she could hardly look at it without sunglasses, ha, ha. We will follow up with the neurologist in the near future and I suppose he will let us know how she is healing and that all is well.
