Had my MRI today

So, I do still need to write my blog post about the IEP meeting (it went REALLY well) and I promise I will, either tonight or tomorrow, but for now I'm going to post about my morning. Last night, as I usually do, I checked the weather and saw that it was supposed to snow - supposed to start around 4am. I figured I'd go ahead and get up a bit early and leave a bit early, as well, to make it over to the MRI place. It's a good thing I did, too, because the roads were HORRENDOUS!! Saw a head-on collision caused by someone spinning 180 and getting hit. What a disaster! Got to the MRI place at *exactly* my appointment time, but the tech wasn't in yet (she showed up about 10 minutes later) but it was no biggie since I had some paperwork to fill out anyway. We started the MRI and got the first part done (about 45 minutes or so) and then I was informed that the second part (with IV contrast) would have to wait as the radiologist hadn't made it in yet. They let me out of the machine and I sat in the inner waiting area and read my nook for awhile and then the radiologist finally got there (about another 45 minutes later). Turns out he lives in Golden and the roads/highways were horrible, stacked up with accidents and such. Wheeeee! At any rate, we got me settled back in the machine and did the second part of the MRI (about 30 minutes) and then I was on my way. Just the short drive from the MRI place to my work was bad. I skidded once and had slow starts every time after I'd come to a stop. And there were people out there driving like mad people. I swear, people drive more carefully in rain around here than they do in snow. It makes no sense! A lot of people with SUVs and trucks think they're safe because they have four-wheel drive. Um, yeah, that might help with deep snow but does *NOTHING* for ice. Sorry buddy. When you drive crazy like that you put everyone else around you in danger. Grrrr! Anyway, I made it to work, late of course. I needed a quick break from coding already (lol - I've only been here about an hour and a half, but I'm so tired my eyes are swimming with code!) so I figured I'd look at my MRI images and write this blog post. Fun, fun times! So, here are two of the images. The first one is just a humorous one that I'm putting up here as proof that I do, in fact, have a brain. LOL! The second one shows the aneurysm. (You can click on the images to enlarge them.) It does look to be a bit larger and is definitely more defined (I was able to find it MUCH more easily this time). I'll know for sure next week at my neuro appointment. In the meantime, I just go about doing things as I have been. Wheeeeee! In the meantime, if you're in snowy parts of the world right now, drive safely. If you're having 70 degree weather right now, abnormally or not, I kinda hate you. LOL. I'll post later about the IEP meeting, for sure.
