My Breast MRI

I was sent to have a breast MRI.   I have had many MRI's in my life, so I was not worried about this one.  I hate them, they are loud and they take forever. Luckily I had talked to Chris, my friends sister, who had this done before and she informed me that for Breast MRI's you lay on your stomach. 

It was weird.  I was on my stomach, in a hospital gown pulled to my waist.  Your breasts are laid into this area and you have to stay still with your arms stretched over you head.  I had to have contrast, so yet another injection in my arm.  They had this mirror where you could look behind you when you kept your head down.  It was weird. 

It is hard to stay still.  And the noise is awful.  But the procedure was not painful in anyway....well except getting stuck by the needle.  I hate needles. 

I was told I would know the results by Monday or Tuesday.  Oh joy!!  But again I was not worrying that anything would come of it.
