Smart Moves

Yep, last Monday, I had my appointment for MRI. So, I decided to wear something comfor-y.
I worn light blue sweatpants but with cute top that blends the color pretty good with my pant. I added a very thin black sweater with v shape. I took the light blue fleece jacket. I don't wear or carry anything that's metal expect the zipper from the jacket. That will keep me warm while I'm outside and I can take it off if I want too and still able to wear cute top that has short sleeves. Yes, it is all "layers"! I can put on extra for keep warm or take off all those extra to keep cool. Either way, I'm comfortable. Last, I wear white tennis shoe. That's most common for nurses to wear around. So I figure it might be wise instead of wearing black pair of short heel shoes.

I did imagine it would be similar like x-ray since I knew I couldn't carry anything that's metal. Only thing I have to take off is my glasses and hearing aids. It's a good thing I did. I remember I have to take off blue jeans because of the button itself that can't be mix with x-ray.

As I arrived, I was asking all those questions relate to implants (including cholar implant(sp)). I was like geez why does she asked me that. I told her there isn't no major surgery that's incluing this. Something tells me that she doesn't believe me. Anyway, the nurse said it is fine what you were wearing so you don't have to worry about changing... WOOHOO!! I hate the idea of taking off the clothes and putting on hostpal grown. It's very annoying.

As I went in and saw the chamber. It has small round where you lay down and your body go in. GOD! It's so small even my elbow can touches the chamber's wall. At first, I thought my whole body is going IN. I was kinda relieved that it wasn't happened and that it is just up to my neck. But still, almost the whole of me is in that small chamber... Ah man! I didn't realize it was that small. I admit it does makes me a little bit nervous but I manage to closed my eyes to think about something else. As I waited and waited.... Oh before I went in, there's a small ball where I can squeez whenever I needed to plus there will be loud noise but chances that I wouldn't be able to hear but I might feel the vibration. Which I did feel the shaking as I was laying down. It's soft and comfortable and I'm so glad that I was still able to wear that fleece light blue jacket because it is extremly cold in that room. It is so cold that my feet are freezing even I have my white tennis shoes on.

Patiently, I waited and waited. I can move my head turning right to left. That's all. I looked at my mom and I asked, "How long do ya think that would take?" My mom went "Ssshhhh, ..." I don't understand her the last statement. I find it so annoying to lay down too long. Finally I came out. I found out that it took 20 minutes long. Geez, they didn't mention that. I almost panic but I manage to focus on my breathing and continue to counting seconds... One Thousand One, One Thousand Two, One Thousand Three.... and so on. I lost count and went back from begining again. Haha. Who cares as long I stay focus on something else.

Well, I will find out more about it this Friday or this Monday....

Guess what,... there's another good news. I would be able to get VP this week or next week. (for those who doesn't know what's VP is. It's Video Phone. What ya see the futuric when a person talk to other person thru tv screen. Well, it's here and for us deaf people are able to get it free. It's nice, isn't it?) I can't wait to talk to several people I know that from different states and again, it's free, too. Hee hee. I can chat as long as I want to or until one of us have to hang up. LOL. I can't wait to chat with all my friends. It is something to look forward to.


Mmmmm anymore news?
