tests, tests, and more tests....
Hello all, well the day has finally come to an end and what a busy day it was...most of the morning tests were fairly easy. I had 20 vials of blood drawn and felt dizzy afterwards, I was in need of a glass of juice or something sugary... just when i thought the worst was over, the afternoon rolled around and i had an MRI. Now I have had an MRI before, but this particular one looked like a medieval torture device! They literally strapped my arms down to a table and put me in this tube. You know you are in trouble when they hand you a panic button and tell you to press when needed. I treated it like i was a contestant on one of those reality t.v. shows... How long can Mike Adams last in the tube without pressing the panic button?? It was hell. I had to stay in there an hour! My prize....Donna handed me a snicker bar. I'll take it! haha. My visit at the dental clinic didn't go as well as I hoped either. Apparently I have a tooth with an old root canal that is failing, so when i get home i have to visit a specialist to have my root canal redone. They have to do this because once i get the transplant, my immune system will be nonexistent for a while and if this tooth should decide to suprise me with an infection it could actually be life threatening Lucky me, a root canal to look forward to upon my return home! . Hopefully all will go well tomorrow.
