What a day! I lurked last night and thought about asking for prayers but then thought that I shouldn't bother anyone with something for such a menial thing. 2 weeks ago I passed out and bruised the entire left side of my face/forehead, etc. - it's finally down to yellowish-green and red. But it seems that everytime I pass out, I manage to hit my head....well, I did not walk for the next 2 days; just sort of scooted around. Okay, so I saw the neuro....another yuck!...and today had a cerebral angiogram, head and neck MRI....3 hours stuffed in the toilet paper tube!!!! I had taken a LOT of meds so I thought that I'd sleep through it but could not, for the life of me, relax. That's one reason it took so long...I kept moving. And, if my head hadn't been totally immobilized, I know that I would've crawled out of the machine! Part 2 of the scan was supposed to be with contrast but, after the 2 techs stuck me 7 times, collectively, to start the contrast and not being able to get a vein....they called in the radiologist, who only tried 3 times, unsuccessfully. A total of 10 sticks for nothing. So it was another 45 minutes and I was totally out of my gourd by then. Thank God my hubby was there to pick me up when I'd gotten dressed....if I'd had to wait, I think I would've cried. So what do I do as soon as I get home????? Naturally, I fell asleep! It couldn't possibly have happened in the toilet paper tube! Oh, no, too easy!!! So now, I'm certain that they think I'm a total loon and will run when they see me coming in again! (Not like I'll be going anytime soon!) So, lesson learned....ask for prayers BEFORE the test! And, for anyone that it may bother, you can feel free to just ignore it and not pray and not respond. I am so totally okay with that. I've learned not to risk another day like this. I think that maybe I've learned my lesson.

Much love and hugs to everyone. I know I'm not around here a lot, but you're all in my heart.
