MRI today

Well, let the testing begin:-) I had my MRI of the cervical disc's and
brain this afternoon. They had trouble getting the dye into my veins as
usual. Then they had to put a magnifier on the MRI machine so they could
find my brain. They did but it is so small they couldn't didn't get a good
picture of it. I did get six wallet sized photo's to give to my family
though:-)
Tomorrow I go in for a chest X-Ray and Doppler of my carotid. Friday a
fasting blood test in the morning. Then I have Sat. and Sun. off. We start
again Monday with my seeing the Neurologist who ordered all of this stuff.
Then Tuesday the invasive procedure to check the heart for arrhythmia. I
think I'll take the rest of the week off then.

Just a moment to update all of you so that I can get all the sympathy you
can give me:-)

Don, his Devil, and the Human pin cushion, me.

Norma...

I'm glad they gave you the weekend off so you have a chance to soak up
some of this sympathy. I'm sending lots of it your way. And how about
a hug or two?
(((((((Don)))))))

Joy...

Good grief, Don! I think taking the bar exam must be easier than all these
tests! OTOH, you don't have to study for them. ;-)

Lots of sympathy coming your way, and a few hugs, too.

Well, Don, mucho sympathy is wending its way from the Boston
area. I guess you just need to take this one day/one
procedure at a time and try not to think too much about the
arduous times ahead. I just hope you come out the other end
in much better shape, pain-free, and able to do what you want
to do.

For a guy with a little brain you are a lot of fun. Can't imagine what it
would be like around here if you had a big one. :-) As for the tests, I feel
for you but I'll be holding good thoughts for the results to tell the
doctors what they need to know to get you back on your feet. In the meantime
((((((((Don &, of course his Devil)))))))

**Dalin**...

Full speed ahead! - storm the Bastille! Don't fire til you see the
whites of their eyes! And thank goodness for weekends. :-)

I'm so glad things are moving and moving quickly now for you.

Don, if you have any extra wallet size photos, I would like to see what
your brain looks like. The primary reason is so I can see what a "happy
brain" looks like. (Big Grin)

You deserve to milk this for all it is worth for sympathy. I can't
imagine how you have handled all that you have been through and you
keep on being up and possitive. May God be with you through all that is
to come.

Arlin :-)

Diane...

Well, for Heaven's sakes! How wonderful to see you Arlin!
It *is* our 'Darlin' Arlin'....isn't it?
What a wonderful blast from the past.... I can't stop smiling!
Gosh we got into some strife in the old days didn't we? Remember the BAG
Ladies? We were so naughty. What fun!
I am not around much these days, Arlin - real life interferes with my
dallyings - but need to touch base with everyone as often as possible.
Do hope life is nicer for you these days
Gently
Di....:)

Howdy Di!!! Yes; this is the one and only "Darlin Arlin." So good to
see you. I have been missing in action for quite sometime.

I sure do remember the BAG Ladies. Dalin and Janie popped out for
awhile a few days ago and went into action(giggle) I love the old days
of the "Lotes" and their shenanigans. I had a hard time keeping up with
them. They are 'fast' ladies! oops!!!! This could get me into trouble
with the Lotes. I just learned that Janie no longer takes quarters. She
is now getting diamonds for her deeds. ;-)

You must pop in more often. It is really good to see you.

Arlin :-)

Joy...

This is the reverse of the pot calling the kettle black. I think both of
you, Arlin and Don, have been through so much that I am just amazed you keep
your sense of humor and your concern for other people. If I wore a hat, it
would be off to both of you.

arneeeee417...

LOL!!!I love the way you play with words. It does seem that Don and I
have been following the same road. I think that Don would agree, but
the alternative is not the best way to go. It helps me to listen to
others and try to help with their problems. It takes my mind off my
problems and they don't seem to be as large as they could seem. It is
amazing to see peoples spirits lifted when I am so sure that God knows
what He is doing with me and I know that God just isn't done with me
yet.

I am tipping my imaginary hat back at you, Joy.

Arlin ;-)

mj,

I didn't want to tell you about the urine test. I got so nervous I peed my
pants and now I have to do it another time. Take the test that is:-))

Don and his Devil

And so would mine!!!!!!!!!!!!
