MRI/MRE

we’ll, I was stressing for nothing. The MRI was nothing. They use the 3T which is a little larger, not much, than the traditional MRI and did nit have the loud banging and clanging. It had a little noise but my country music drowned most of it out. Now the MRE is a little different story. Because I’m so thin he said it would be very uncomfortable and it was. He had that thing wrapped so tight around me I thought I couldn’t take a deep breath. And the vibrations were very hard. And I took no meds. So all was good. Hoping to hear results early week. Or, maybe I’d rather not, lol!

I thought the contrast would be like ct scan contrast but it wasn’t. Didn’t feel that warmth.
