I hate waiting!!!! I spent a little under 2 hours getting an MRI/MRA on Saturday; it went much better than I had expected, I wasnt looking forward to it at all, but all that praying I did must have helped!  Today I spent just about all day getting the stress test done.  I finally was done about 2, in time to come home briefly then go get Caleb.  I had bloodwork drawn last Tuesday afternoon, I havent got a call about those results yet.   The place today said they will fax a report to the dr tomorrow but mail the complete report and films to them so they should have them in a day or two.   The MRI/mra results should be to the dr by today or tomorrow but I have to go back and pick up the films to take to my next appt with me as the dr requested.   I dont know what to expect.  I thought that when the dr did the ekg last week it would be fine and seemed like something silly to check, until now that I’ve done some research and unfortunately my symptoms match up with those of heart disease.   So I’m trying to think positively, but waiting on all of these results is hard.

I dont really know what to expect.  I want things to be normal, but if all the tests come back normal that leaves me feeling crappy with no answers.  the other options is that they find something wrong and we treat it, but none of the things they could find wrong are really easy fixes, and most are pretty scary to think about.   As Dean so eloquently blogged, there’s no point in worrying, but it wasnt him sitting in that tight MRI machine  for an hour and a half  knowing the answers lie in the pictures that the machine was taking at that very moment or in the pictures that were taken of my heart today by another machine that suprisingly was more scary looking than the mri machine, at least to me.  all in all both tests werent that bad, the waiting for the results is indeed worse than the whole processof testing to find out what’s wrong.  Pray for us as we anxiously await news, good or bad, we know things will work out and if anything at least now the drs are trying to help me!

speaking of drs…Zeke has his 2 month check up tomorrow!! I’ll update after that, and hopefully one of my drs calls tomorrow too!
