Where To Put Your Hands?

I got a letter in the mail with the results of my mammogram.

I don't know why, but I thought it was hilarious that they wanted me to know that my results were abnormal and that I should NEVER ignore breast cancer.

I guess it's good they told me, cause I was thinking of doing just that.

Today was a little rough.

I had a breast MRI.

When I got to the hospital, they put me onto a table and had me lay on my stomach on top of a metal rod with my boobs in handy little cups. They had me lay with my arms above my head - like superman - and hooked me up to an IV.

SUPER comfortable.

I thought the scan was going to be a piece of cake. I was just laying there and it seemed to be going fine.

Then they started the IV with the stuff that would show up on the scan. All of the sudden I started to feel woozy and light headed. The stuff makes you feel all warm and have the chills at the same time.

So crazy.

I was squeezing the call button for the nurse, but because the scan had already started, there wasn't really anything they could do for me.

The nurse said if they stopped now they would have to start again.

So I did what any self respecting woman would do. I passed out.

When I came to, they were pulling me out of the machine. The nurse said she was sure I was okay because she could see me twitching.

She sat me up and I had just enough time to yell, "TRASH" when a nurse shoved the can under my face so I could throw up and pass out again.

Good thing there were three nurses there, because all three of them had to catch my naked self and get me back onto a bed.

I am sure they were wondering where to put their hands.

Good times.

I am feeling fine now, just a little tired.

Good friends helped me organize my garage.

I'm getting everything in order for the days to come.

I know they will be difficult, but I feel very much in the hands of the Lord and I know He will bless and keep me.

Thank you for all your kinds words and thoughts. I cannot express how loved we feel.
