Today was a hurry up and wait day. Since I had a doctor's appointment this morning, I had to get up and take hubby into work. But since my doctor's appointment wasn't until 1130 and hubby had to be at work at 9, I had a couple of hours to hang out at hubby's work. Since he was going to need to go to the bank about 10am, we ran the errand together, it was nice. Then I left and drove over to the medical center where I was going to have my MRI.
I arrived at the medical center with about half and hour still to wait so I sat in my car listening to the radio and reading my Zero Belly Diet book. Getting in and checking in was a bit of a hassle, I had to wait for the clerk to get to her station, set up her stuff, adjust the monitor just right, make sure she talked to her coworker and then make sure she was ready. Then she checked me in after ambling over to the counter to see if I had paperwork to fill out. I did so she ambled back over to me and handed me the clipboard. I took it and sat down.
I just started to fill out the paperwork when the MRI tech came and got me. She was friendly and took me to the changing room. Since I was wearing jeans and an underwire bra, I had to change into pants and a gown. After I put all my stuff into the locker, I slipped out of the room and went to the chairs. When I went to finish the paperwork, I realized I put my glasses in the locker so when the tech came to get me, she had to read me the questions and write down my answers. We both laughed.
Going into the MRI room, they told me I would be going in feet first since it was my lower leg they would be scanning and I was thrilled! I get a little anxiety when my head goes in, I feel like I am in a coffin. But this would be fine. I didn't count on the fact that I would be lying on my back with a thin pillow under my lower legs and have my feet taped together and having to try to stay perfectly still. My body kept tensing up and I had to keep thinking about relaxing to relax so I was occasionally moving but just a little. It screwed up a little bit of the pictures but I am hoping not a lot.
When I was done, it took about 45 minutes, I got to get to Costco early. I was meeting my friend, Diana, there at 130pm. I arrived at 1 and texted her to let her know I was there. Then when I didn't hear back from her, I texted her again with which Costco I was at, since there is 2 of them in our town. She texted me back that she just woke up from a nap, had overslept, and she was going to hurry and she was sorry. It took her over an hour to get to me at Costco, good thing I had my book and my crochet to keep me occupied.
We ate lunch and then we went shopping. She didn't have a membership so I used my card when she paid for her stuff. We parted company in the parking lot and I went back to hubby's work and picked him up to take me home.
We arrived at home, he got a sandwich and left. I went upstairs to work on some paperwork for the attorney for the Big B. I needed to take it into attorney tomorrow. I made sure we had everything we needed and then fed the beasties. Hubby called and then I started dinner. Beef Stroganoff, one of his new favorites.
We cleaned up from dinner and spent the night together watching episodes of Major Crimes. Rusty got adopted! Yeah!
