I'm waiting for my MRI. This is always scary. Right after the last one was All Clear Jeremy and I got in that wreck and I ended up with 3 brain bleeds, one right where my aneurism was repaired!! They said my brain tissue would die everywhere the blood touched and I lost the ability to understand what I read and the ability to hear music in my head, or how to play the guitar and piano, I couldn't picture a single cord. An i have more blanks in my long term memory and serious damage to my short term memory. Then they scanned a month after the accident and said the big bleeds had shrunk but they saw micro bleeds all over my brain. I asked Dr Gold if this meant that I was in serous trouble and he said Yes, the first time he ever answered that question that way! I also have Severe White Matter Disease (which I believe is a fungal issue but it's hard to get doctors to take that idea serious!) so my brain is a wreck. But. THEN my brain damage brother reminded me that the Brain and the Mind are different things and, while they have mapped the Brain NO ONE has figured out what the Mind is! He told me to read a hundred year old way- before-its-time book called "Secrets of the Ages" and it opened my Mind to all the possibilities!!! I hear music, can play some music, and can understand the written word!!! It's been slow progress but IT IS PROGRESS.
Whew! Scan over. They put me in a special high definition MRI because of my new allergy to contrast. It's a tight fit with a cage over my face holding my head in place. NOT for the claustrophobic! They turned on the Beatles and began. I guess I'll find out tomorrow what my Forcast is.
4 days and no test results. I hope that doesn't mean the results are bad or that something went wrong with that special MRI.
