Hospital Today for Scan

Had to be in the city at 9 45am for MRI scan to see whether or not i had a slight stroke the other month i went to set the alarm clock for 7am and found it not working , BUMMER .
Had a cow of a night , just coudn't settle down and i kept on checking the time, finally got up at 6.30 , at 7am Caths mobile went off, she didn't tell me that she had set the bloody thing and i might have got a bit more sleep .
Having never been to this particular hospital i had to get directions from my street directory it is a 40 km drive on the main highway with 18 traffic lights and being in the city in peak morning traffic thought to myself its going to take over an hour and a half , we have no freeways or overpasses , so you go with the flow . then getting a car park was going to take more time , also for the first time oif winter it was pouring rain.
parking outside of hospital was out , all the bays were full, so eventually found a parking station , and walked about half a km back , wasn't raining it had eased off but got just about drowned walking back afterwards .
Never had an MRI scan before the machine itself was that noisy you get a set of earplugs given you
That scanning machine would be the loudest yet, it even made the base you lie on tremble , 20 minutes it took , so on the 17 june i will get the results .
Have had no more dizzy spells for over a month , so results will tell

Your getting there sounds awful. Hope you will get good news from the results. I have had several cat scans, MRIs over the years. Last time about 18 months ago, I hummed along with the bumps and crashes. I know people have a terrible time being locked in and I do relate, but have learned to control my responses. heart (my emoticons aren't working.)

Doctors love tests, don't they? Sometimes it as much to rule out as rule in. In your case, I hope it's ruling out!!

Don't know about in your part of the world but I am unable to take an MRI-- it makes me VERY claustrophobic to the point I go wild!! We have a stand up one but I can't deal with that either---a few times they tried with giving me tranquilizers and didn't work!
Hope all the reports for you are good!

tranquilizers didn't work? bummer.

was asked if i would be ok , then gave me a button to ring a bell if i wanted out

Good work, enduring that MRI. They're kind of scary. Best hopes for good results!

The night before all those unknowns is always the worst. Even with an alarm set, I wake up every hour and look at the clock and fret about the traffic and all those things. Good thing it's over with. Once they know it was a small stroke, what will they do? Or are they ruling out something else? Its good news that you're not feeling any symptoms.

Whats next ? no idea, both blood pressure and colestrol are ok

Sounds like a heck of a day... hope all the results come back with good news!

My first though was damn the poor geezer doesn't have a cell... Donna forgets that ours have calendars when she can't find her paper one. The noise of the machine doesn't bother me (I've had two or 3), but the confinement was impossible the second time. First time I was Ok going in feet first for me knee--my head was out just far enough to see the numbers at the top of the machine. But the second time... they wanted me in head first and I panicked when the guy tried to strap me down.... LOL Found a place that does "open" MRI and that's Ok.
Good that you're not having symptoms, but two weeks is a long time to wait for results. Good luck.

Noneed for me to have a cell phone --we call them mobile phones---.
Had a full bone scan once --first they inject radiation into you then you have to lie still for an hour ---the scanner sounds like a big truck with no muufler---Specialist has taken holiday
