Mention me in your prayers.
I have to go have a CT scan done of my brain this afternoon. I am sure they will not find anything

Thanks,
Jack

Consider it a done deal, Jack. Prayers our going out for you.

Having lunch with Pastor Terry. I'll get him to add some prayers, too. Think he's in a lot tighter with the big guy then I am!!!!

Had one of them a couple years ago, my Doc said it was difficult to read the results......from a Vacuum Chamber!!! What did he mean by that????? Heck, I don't even vacuum, I make the kid do it!!!!!

I gotta call yesterday form my doctor and she wants me to go to Cass County Memorial Hospital tomorrow for a chest Cat scan. But I ain't worried, heck I'm still breathing. I quit worrying about all that good stuff after I survived a Laryngel cancer operation in Jan 94. Any day above the grass is a good day.

Then Friday, I have to go to the VA in Des Moines for my annual (is that 10,000 mile or what?) check up. Seems like Docs anymore eat up more of time than anything else.

Wish you well Jack on the tests. I've had a few of them over the years, nothing to them.

Let us know how you are.

Don

Jack, will include you in my prayer today and hope they find nothing more than the gray matter that is supposed to be there.

Went to my doc today for my tri -annual check-up. I had a number of things to talk about and finally after about 40 minutes he told me I was healthy and should live long providing I didn't die sooner than expected. He also told me shut and to get out!

Guess I was over my maximun insurance reimbursement limit.

Hope all turns out well Jack.

Hope to know results today, but probably tomorrow. They ended up doing an MRI. I am glad I did not know that in advance, but it wasn't too bad, but maybe the longest 10 minutes of my life, so far...

Jack

Jack...I'm sure all will turn out well.

Aren't those MRI's fun? I wonder how they can fit some people into those little tubes? I'm not claustrophobic, but that really pushes the limits. I had an MRI for my shoulder and it lasted 40 minutes. I made a mistake and opened my eyes. I couldn't wait to get out!

Good luck dude!

Oh God, I am the same way in the MRI machine. I keep saying to myself "look, you are an intelligent person, and this thing is not going to trap you in here," but I still feel like I am smothering. I almost scooted backwards out of it one time because it was really starting to close in on me. I try to amuse myself by thinking of other things, like working on my T, but if I open my eyes it is all over.

Last MRI I had to do lasted nearly 2 hours. Some of the exposures took over 30 minutes. All I know is that they didn't find anything wrong. So in stead of leaving me go, they referred me to a bone specialist for a 2 hour bone scan plus an injection of ugly dye. Glad they didn't find anything either. Surely didn't want to take the exploratory crap to another level.

An "Open MRI" is far better, no more tightness, no more claustro feelings, no more nightmares.

Yeah it was fun.
I just got a call back from my doctors, and for the most part, nothing serious. I should be good for another few years. The doctor did say that my brain was shrinking at a faster pace than normal for my age. I kinda figured that, because when I was 16, I knew everything, now at 62, I am finding there is a lot I don't know..
Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts, proof that prayer works.

Jack

My last MRI was not a good experience - they fully covered me with a sheet that had to be removed!!! As long as its not too hot I think I do OK.

Also, if they would just talk you through it, the experience would be a lot better.

Glad you got good news Jack.



Don

Yeah, Jack, I am glad to hear the good news. I got my CT this morning and the Doc called with the results. Lungs are okay. No growths. But the radiologist noticed something on my kidney. So now I got to go back Monday for a CT scan of abdomin and pelvic area. I need to get over there to get this contrast to drink Sun night. I am betting it's going to be nothing also. Just making money off the insurance.
