Completed My Left Knee MRI Imaging
[ Tuesday May 28th 2019 at 6:40 am ]

The imaging of both my knees joints is now complete. I am glad it is done. I will continue the discussion as we assess my body and what is appropriate for treatment.

I've found this round of MRI imaging very hard. The pain during the imaging was very hard to deal with. Even using pain medication prior to the imaging didn't dull it. I had to keep my mind occupied. Otherwise it was like I was being physically tortured.

The MRI technician could see I was in pain. She did everything possible to make me comfortable. One of the strategies used was putting wedges under my hip joints to better support my body and lesson the pain. We also made use of extra pillows to supporting my body.

I want to do something small to say "thank you" to this technician. She really stands out in the various people involved in my care. I am going to buy a small cactus and write a card and deliver it to the hospital later in the week.
