MRI

i walked into the doctor's office this morning for my mri, completed the necessary paperwork, and was then told that to get to the mri, i had to drive to the lower level of the office parking lot.


long story short, the mri was in a tractor trailer. yep, a tractor trailer. the technician was incredibly nice. the machine had to be reset three times. the firing squad sounds weren't as bad as i expected, and it didn't take a lot of effort to not freak out about laying in a coffin-like tube. the worst part was the dye that they injected inside me. definitely made my arm hurt at the injection site for a good hour, but that's to be expected i suppose. 


i'll get the results in a week. i'm feeling like it will come back normal, since they didn't make me do additional scans, or call me right after.


shalom to you + yours this evening.

tomorrow morning is my brain mri. 






holler?

tomorrow is thanksgiving ! my first thanksgiving away from home. 




and then the day after that is Buy Nothing Day. Stoked. 




i hope you all are surrounded by people that love you tomorrow. And enjoy your turkey, you meat heads.  :-)

since i'm getting an MRI of my brain saturday morning, i thought i'd look at what exactly i'm getting myself into[no pun intended]. 


and this is what google brings to the screen when i type in brain MRI:







thanks, google. i really, really appreciate that. because i mean it's not like i'm already nervous enough.


haha. good lord.

i had a lot of fun in vegas with my brother. we did typical vegas-like things.

• gambled.[well peter gambled, i watched. alas, i'm only 18]
• ate at the largest buffet i've ever laid eyes upon. such a good breakfast.
• saw blue man group! crazy, crazy, rad.
• danced in our hotel room overlooking the strip. [i may or may not have gotten vodka into my eye..]

  i painted my nails black last night to get ready for my trip to sin city with my brother today. this is normal pre-vegas stuff, right?
