Once again… 3 am…
It’s MRI day… and I’m scared as hell.
I took some time off from MRI’s… And I’ve loved it. But it’s time for a reality check.
Here’s the checklist they will look at:
- Seizures….. Yes
- Vomiting…. Yes
- Numbness…. Yes
- Shaking in Hands or Feet… Yes
- Headaches…. Yes
- Falls…. Yes
Here’s the list I’ll add….
- Smiles…. Yes
- Laughter…. Yes
- Dirty Jokes…. Yes
- Happy & Sad Tears…. Yes
- Board Games…. Yes
- New Orleans…. Yes
- Bar Mitzvah…. Yes
So… Was taking a little time off from 3 am Blogs, MRI Tubes, Needles, Head Cages… Sleepless nights waiting for another 90 days… Was it worth it?
I guess we’ll find out tonight.
But I can say it was a great vacation from the reality of living Brain Cancer every day.
I wanted a few days off from being a patient. A Patient Vacation… A VACATIENT!
But… It’s time to go back to work. To see if what I’m doing is working? If the tumor has remained the same size. If I’ll get some more time off?
But if you asked me now… in the middle of the night… while I’m writing… and listening to Sting & Adele belt their hearts out… Was it worth it?
Hell yes.
Love,
Tra
