I...April Marie - thanks for your comments :) Yes! I had MRIs too three years ago when I had been having migraines. I have to say that I much "prefer" the CT scan! MRI machine is such a tiny enclosed space, takes so long, and it sooooo noisy! And that yukky ink dye business just makes it all the worse. I am very claustrophobic, so it was a harsh exercise in self-control. CT for the torso is ok for me, because the machine doesn't go over my face, and the procedure is much quicker, although I still have to say it's not the most comfortable of things. <br /><br />I understand what you mean about hospitals and blood, scans, etc. One of my friends passed out in the hospital when she had to go and have stitches taken out. I think lots of people have the same feeling. Have to say, although I can stand blood and icky stuff, I too get a strange feeling when I go inside a hospital. Can't quite put my finger on what it is though.<br /><br />We'll see how the antibiotics go for now, and if it is back again, and getting worse, then I guess I will have to have surgery. Not sure if it was always in that spot or whether it shifted! Didn't think to ask, but wish I had! I read that it's not so rare, but I often had a feeling it had something to do with pregnancy, as I had both previous bouts just after having my two children. All got so squashed up in there. Yuk...<br /><br />And thanks for the compliment! Nice to hear after such a challenging day :)Japan Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139734059309234252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760147541866315383.post-53307855272761367602010-02-05T22:20:53.179+09:002010-02-05T22:20:53.179+09:00p.s. you are so freak'n brave.. and what a day...p.s. you are so freak'n brave.. and what a day you had...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760147541866315383.post-25839604419092715022010-02-05T22:20:24.176+09:002010-02-05T22:20:24.176+09:00WOW...
