Another one down...

Another MRI is done and over with.  How many more in my lifetime?  With certainty, at least one a year.

Grateful that I went through it without another major allergic incident. This time docs were on top of it and pre-medicated me so my body *fingers crossed* wouldn't react to the dye.  Now we wait...what will this series of images reveal?  

Moving on.
