MRI

So, I had my MRI today. I was extremely nervous, but the test went fairly smooth. An hour before I got there I took a Xanax my doctor prescribed to relax me. It helped! They gave me ear plugs to wear because there are very loud banging and clicking noises. After about 20 minutes of being in the tunnel they pulled me out and inserted a contrast die into my veins. The first try on the right arm didn't go so smooth. My vein collapsed...oops! So onto the left side and that was just fine, barely felt it. Back in the tunnel for another35 minutes. Now I just wait. They should have the results back tomorrow or Monday at the latest I hope. Then this afternoon I met with Opthomologist for another eye exam. This visit was much better. All the eye exams I failed last week I past today. My right is still weaker that the left, but hopefully it's on the road to recovery. It will never be the same though. She said I would be lucky if I got it back to 90-95% of normal. Not to mention all my lab work came back normal so that was another positive. I still have the Optic Neuritis and now I am just waiting and praying the MRI results don't link it MS. One step at a time, hopefully the last piece to this puzzle will also be in my favor. I am feeling very hopeful. I owe a huge thank you to my mom and dad. They have made getting through this bearable and filled with so much love. My parents both showed up this morning at my house. My mom took Colin to school and then dropped off and picked up Luke and Ava from preschool and took care of them the remainder of the day. They had a great time. My dad drove me to VJO for my appointment, held my hand and calmed my nerves. We stopped and had a nice lunch together before he took me home. I picked up Colin from school and he sat with through my eye appointment, held my hand and gave me a neck message. Such a sweet boy I have. I am so blessed with such a supportive family. They are always there for me.
