My leukemia's back.

[bobbi-j]

Hi sour..working on the healing. Go in for a MRI tomorrow, the gal said 3 and a half hrs in the tube. I said, what?! She says, well, maybe just 2 and a half hrs. Doing the Brain, neck, and T spine area. Me no like the MRI, too small and dark in there.

I'm a bit claustrophobic. They gave me Valium before they stuck me in the tube. They told me I was in there for over an hour. I thought it was only 15 minutes or so. Wishing you the best.

yep.... got home Monday.

I feel like I need a week in bed... and I keep having to run errands or take care of something .....

Or whatever. ....

Welcome home, Al! You could probably use that week in bed. Take care of yourself! (After 5 weeks on the peninsula last year, my brain keeps drifting back there this summer. DH would love to go stay from Sept. - May some year. I told him I'd miss him...)

Hi guys..... still alive.

Reminds me of a Blooie story.....got time?

13 year old Terrin was frantically trying to find her “training bra” one morning. In the process she was ruining the morning for everyone, stomping around opening and slamming doors and dresser drawers, ripping stuff out of the dirty clothes hamper, pulling things out from the closet.....in general being a real little snit about not being able to find it. Exasperated, 11 year old Kenny said, “It’s pretty small. Did you look in the washer? Maybe it fell in the little holes in there.” Terrin was NOT happy and turned her wrath on him, as expected. Tam finally found it and peace (although always temporary) was restored.

Fast forward a week. Kenny had a baseball game and his, um, supporter also turned up missing. Although he wasn’t quite as vocal and angry as Terrin had been, he was still getting pretty frantic as he searched. Terrin made a great show of helping him look, and she took charge of the upstairs while he searched downstairs. She came down with a nasty grin on her face, tossed Kenny an empty Juicy Fruit chewing gum package, and said, “It’s pretty small....did you look in here?” Peace shattered. <sigh>

Gosh I hate it when I can't find my training bra.....

awesome about the no pain...

a bit scary that there is not going to be a weaning off period .

She wasn't on long enough to worry.
I have been on it for years and never have to taper down too drastically (I do taper but generally I do it fairly quick)..... but she only took two doses.....

That's no fun at all. I hope it goes well. Have you ever had a full body one? Those drag on unbelievably long. I think I actually caught a nap in there once, even with all the noise.

Good morning, Team Rachel. I hope you are all having a good day.

Good morning Team Rachel

Cynthia, hope the MRI goes quickly for your sake today

 

[sourland]

That is a darn long time to lie still in the tube!!

A long time for me. I'd have to wear Depends. Good morning, Team Rachel.

Be careful with that! My mom told me that she'd KILL me if I died first
I'm safe, she died in 2003.

Yeah.... my mom is in great health though.... I'm not.
But who knows.
