I have all my jewelry off and am now just waiting to go get my MRI.....again. You know, these things aren't painful, a good thing, but I just hate them. I hate the having to lay still for 45 minutes in a tube. I hate the noise. I hate the slight bit of claustrophobia I have in small enclosed places. Lets see, I am thinking about this wrong.
OK what I love about MRI's. The tech's are all so nice. They give me warm blankets and put pillows under my knees so my back won't hurt. It is nice there is something to diagnose what's wrong without sticking needles in you. EMG's.... now those hurt. So. I guess hate is a strong word. One used too loosely and easily these days. There are things that make you mad, things you disagree with, things you don't care for, but really, you should save hate for the really terrible things. So, I will change the sentence. MRI's. I just really dislike them...
We have a stew in the crockpot so it will be nice when we get home late to have supper ready. And yummy, stew. It is cold out, it will taste good. Then I am going to watch a movie and relax. I am trying not to think to much about tomorrow.
I had thought about getting my picture taken and then decided that was stupid. The scar will be part of my face after tomorrow. What would a picture do. Prove that I didn't always have it? So what if I have a scar. People have worse and I can handle it. And after a few months I won't be able to even find it maybe. But by this time tomorrow I will be cancer free. Now that Is something to look forward to and be grateful for.
I read that the sun damage to my face that caused this cancer could have been from years ago. This wasn't just from one sunburn last summer. This is years of burning my skin and not wearing sunscreen or hats. So for you young ones out there or mothers and fathers with kids. The sooner you start wearing protection and protecting one of Gods greatest gifts, your skin, the better. Because your skin protects you everyday. It is a marvelous thing, waterproof, if unbroken a natural barrier from infections and bacteria, keeps you cool by sweating, warm my shivering. Looks good over your body. Shows when your healthy and one of the first indications when your ill. Take care of it. Pamper it and it will glow with good health.
And that was my skin cancer awareness post for the day. I will update tomorrow and let you know when I am cancer free. Yippy.

I'm sorry you have to go through that "tube" again. At least the people there are nice. I make sure to put lots of protection on my face-I need to remember to put it everywhere else though as well. Have a good week! Julie
If they give you a warm blanket before an MRI you are doing good. I have never had that curtesy done for me. My daughter had one done today for her back.I am in prayer for you for tomorrow. Helen
Hope you'll get a favourable result out of the MRI, Julie. Enjoy the stew.
I don't like MRI's either, but I'm glad they can diagnose so many conditions by using one instead of cutting you up!!
I'm sure the removal of skin cancer will go well.
Keeping you in my prayers.
