Hopefully my first and last MRI

Saturday morning. We had compiled a list of questions overnight for the doctors and my main request: I want an MRI done. There had been earlier mention of this being a possibility but they sounded guarded about it because I was pregnant. I was now at the point where we needed a better idea of what was going on and more answers. Whatever the risks were, I was willing to take them to figure this out. Again, I needed more than what I had been told already and my main, biggest worry was do not send me home like this.

My notes and questions (scribbly was in pain and on drugs, less scribbly was me feeling better)

So, my OB doctor came and she was more than on board for the MRI. So, again we waited until a gurney came to roll me back down to dungeon world. This was serious now; I got to be transported in a gurney rather than a wheelchair. I felt like royalty! Finally, I have their attention.

To the MRI dungeon and idiot MRI man: "You're the first pregnant person I've done an MRI on in 20 years. Are you sure you want to do this?" Screw you. Yes. My doctor and radiologist already said it was more than OK so I don't need you freaking us out. Did we freak out? Yes, I think Adam was more worried than me but I was in the zone and ready for this thing. He was much nicer later when he found out who Adam was.  "Oh, that name sounds familiar. Oh, I've heard him on the radio. Oh, cool!" Note to self: name drop hubby more and people are nicer to you.

So, MRIs are not pleasant. I expected the worst, and it wasn't the worst thing ever but it was very loud. Like, in a really bad night club with terrible electronic techno music and you're sober and want to go home bad. I was more concerned about the baby being bothered by the noise and also my pain pill wearing off and having to lie flat and being really uncomfortable. Luckily, it went 'quick' per the idiot guy's standards and off I went. I had spoken to the radiologist prior to going in and requested he read the results quick as my parents were leaving soon, and apparently the second it was over he was taking a peek. I guess I did have everyone's attention.

The final product... really creepy, I know.

The bright areas are fluid, so bladder on the bottom, cyst/mass on the right, stomach top left. Oh, and creepy baby too. Sorry baby.
