Went on 11/22/19 for the MRV and MRA , MRI and x-rays of Hip and pelvic bilateral .
all but one test done , one of the MRA couldn't be done the angiogram w/o contrast .
because the MRV is so seldom done either medicare or the hosp. codes was shared so med. wouldn't allow it to be done same day .
That was just fine with me because i was still in that machine from 2:30 to 5 :00 no stop . I was to get a break every 40 min. but because they lost so much time trying to get the machine set up for the MRV that i went right straight thru . They did check on me audio wise thru out the time period in there and I was god so we went right thru . My nurse Jenn was amazed i was able to do it because of my tremors and muscle spasms . But I also was able to get the hips out of the way on that Friday I was happy .
Next waiting to see what my new Neuro says after tests results come back . My Last one won't be till next Friday { i am going to try to move it up when main desk is open Monday }. As far as the 30 lesions in Cerebellum { L & R } that will be addressed also after last test .
Rheumy that ordered my hip and pelvic X-rays WELL this is because of she will not let me have anymore injections . new studies show problems.so now it will be new knee's and hip if the AVN keeps it march up . I am trying very hard to keep myself mobile but if i can't have shots than this is going to be a problem .
having surgeries of that caliber is not going to go smoothly because i am an 80% risk factor from the walk into the office .Also the older i get the more friction i will receive.
So those that have followed this journey of mine here . That is where we are now . had a bunch of dye for the contrasts and felling the effects of that still today . Creatinine tests were good pre - tests were good .
me being as hyper as i am an the nervousness I surprised my self lying so motionless for so long . i think I went into a trance .. i didn't respond to quickly i guess when i came out of machine . tech and nurse Jenn were pretty excited when the cob webs lifted out of my head . Port wouldn't stop bleeding which surprised me because my INR was 2.0 { i had done it that morning at 7 AM before my other 3 appointments prior to going to Dartmouth for all the tests. Was a real busy day .
My Doc from pain care whom i saw that same morning and we had gone over all the testing and blood levels stated " no more MBB on L-5 spine -nor MBB C-5-6-7 spine injections along with my TPI shots till all these tests are completed and he has chance to go over things with all the other Doc's involved.
So that is all I can tel you now - accept i still am having that pressure and have to be very careful how and the speed of which I move around and also up and down and left to Right with my head .
Time to feed Casey . and a trip out back is in order also I think ha ha
