MRI

Today I had an MRI done- at the request of the specialist I saw last week- to follow up on a lump that my doctor found in my breast this spring. My mammogram came back clean, but with my age the doctors wanted to make absolutly sure- thus the MRI today. I'm not too worried and the doctors don't seem to be either, but it will be nice to know for sure (finally) in a few days. The test itself went pretty smoothly -they did have to stick me twice for the IV- and I got a big crick in my neck trying to lay still for the whole test- but other than that it wasn't too bad. And have you ever noticed that when someone tells you to breath normal that then all you can think about is breathing (and thus you don't breath normal)? Well, I sure would appreciate all your prayers- that the results would be accurate and clear and that they wouldn't show anything dangerous. I'll update in a few days!
