Hoping For Answers

I escaped the house twice today without a little one! I had to go to my doctor's office this morning. I was amazed. My appointment was at 9:20 and I was back home by 9:45. It's always amazing when you hardly have to wait. She rechecked my throat and that looked all clear. Then we discussed my back again and she thankfully agreed to referring me for an MRI.

I had heard of a place in Springfield on the radio that does x-rays/MRI's and CT scans. They claim to be cheaper than going to a hospital or bigger office. I asked my own doctor if she knew anything about it and if it was a legitimate place. She said it definitely was a good place to go and that prices are lower. The only reason is they have slightly older machines, but that's it!

I was hoping to go this week. At 10:30 my doctor's office called and let me know that I had an appointment scheduled for TODAY at 1:30! Mom was planning to grocery shop during Daniel's nap, but left after my phone call to go grab some stuff.

I was out the door at 12:45 and got there just before 1:30. I seriously had the best experience! Everyone there was so friendly. They have free snacks and drinks in the waiting area. Plus they were so kind when I asked if they have payment plans. I would definitely make the drive back there for other things if it's ever needed.

The MRI itself was fine. I can now see why people who are claustrophobic freak out. Thankfully I'm only claustrophobic when I'm stuck in an area with crowds of people. I was fine being stuck in a tube. I had no clue how loud the machine is though! She gave me earplugs, but they barely muffled it. I did feel a little agitated and almost dizzy a few times when it was making weird noises, but nothing bad. I was also off balance for a few minutes when I got out.

They'll have the results to my doctor within 24-48 hours. I hope they could see something. I need this fixed!

I came home and we had a yummy supper. Jacob was gone until around 7 tonight, so it was just Mom, Daniel and I. Daniel chowed down on one of his favorite things, "wice!" (rice). He was an ornery little booger tonight though. Hopefully he'll be better tomorrow!
