ENJOY MY IRELAND MONTAGE

Its 6:19am and I have literally been up all night long .... my knee has been killing so I figured I would get some stuff done ... My Ireland Pics are finally up ...no more waiting.. Sorry my Ireland Trip Pics took so long but all the digi pics I wanted to post I had to resize every single one of them .. what a pain in the ass!!! Also a few place I only had a disposable camera because of the weather and also overnight situation, so I had to get those few (6) cameras developed as well and also scan them into my computer before I could post them!!

Just to warn you ...the montage text is long and it comes and goes fast so totally pause the video so you can read them ... also the slide show is a Chrissie Mini Epic so make sure you have about 15mins to watch it all... i know i know but hey you can pause it and come back to it later if you want!!! SORRY but I had sooo many pics to pick from... i also have sooo many more that you all will never see (WINK WINK) yeah lol Ireland was just so amazing !!!!!

MY CRAZY MORNING

Crazy ass morning
7:00am Wake up call from someone special hehe
7:30am Time for a shower
7:45am out of the shower
8:15am out the door
8:15-9:10 FUCKEN TRAFFIC
9:15am got to the MRI place to pick up films
9:40am Ortho Apt
9:55am .... crying in the office

Doc:2 you have a number of options
me: I don't want temporary anything I want this fixed
Doc: don't get upset
me: I cant help it I don't need this right now
Doc: I know what you are saying but we will work on this
me: im 28 I dont want to get a shot today then 5 years down the road need surgery for this exact thing I am treating that I could have had fixed way back
Doc: I understand and I like your way of thining
me: I know .... tears start coming down like a waterfall..what would you do as a human not a doctor
Doc: if you were my daughter I would take the shot cortisone first and give it a while to see what happens. Who knows it might not work and it might last forever but what I am gonna do is have my people call you to schedule surgery. I am a very reserved doctor and do everything before surgery but you are right about the shot only lasting for a while and down the road needing something ...Its a simple procedure nothing to be worried about
me: thats what they all say about surgery ... ok lets do that .. lets do the shot ...will it hurt
Doc: just the needle going in
me: ok but I cant watch and tell the nurse I dont want to see the needle.
Doc: hahaha ok
OK OK OK SO I HAD TO LOOK AT THE NEEDLE AND DUDE IT WAS SOOO BIG THEN I WAS KICKING MYSELF IN THE ASS KNOWING HOW FAR IT HAD TO GO INTO MY KNEE!!!
HERES A PIC OF WHAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH ....


What is a cortisone?
Cortisone is a type of steroid that is produced naturally by a gland in your body called the adrenal gland. By injecting the cortisone into a particular area of inflammation, very high concentrations of the medication can be given while keeping potential side-effects to a minimum. Cortisone injections usually work within a few days, and the effects can last up to several weeks.

MY KNEE SURGERY IS YET TO BE
SCHEDULE BUT I WILL LET YOU
KNOW WHEN IT IS!!

CONVO with bro today
ME: Im scared
BRO: Whatever
ME: No really i hope its an open MRI
BRO: yeah you better hope so
ME: my luck I will not have an open one
BRO: Did you tell them you wanted one
ME: no I forgot
BRO: ohhhhh no
ME: come on it cant be that bad ... its prob like a tanning booth
BRO: ummmmm ... more like a coffin
ME: THANK YOU ASSHOLE

So I show up for my MRI ... fill out all the paperwork and went into the room ... I wore shorts and a T so I didnt have to change hehehe ... I talked to the MRI tech for a while, and he told me what to aspect. I said ok sounds good. I lay down on the bed, he makes me comfortable, ohhh yeah and did I mention he was a hottie hehehe so he sets me all up and then before he leaves asked me if I needed a blanket. I said nope .. he said ok ... here is your control incase you need to get a hold of me.

INFO ON MRI- it can pick out a very small point inside the patient's body and ask it, essentially, "What type of tissue are you?" The point might be a cube that is half a millimeter on each side. The MRI system goes through the patient's body point by point, building up a 2-D or 3-D map of tissue types. It then integrates all of this information together to create 2-D images or 3-D models.

Ok so its loud, cold ....i should have taken that blanket, my leg had to lay flat the entire time, I was hurting, and to keep my mind off of the closure I counted, hummed songs, and tried to sleep.... it didnt work ... about 15 mins into the scan I pushed the button ...
ME: Ummm hello
MRI TECH: Yes Chrissie
ME: Just seeing if this button thing works
MRI TECH: hahaha yes it is working
ME: Ok now you have to start talking to me
MRI TECH: what
ME: I am gonna freak out
MRI TECH: haha ok

THE CONVO LASTED THE ENTIRE TIME 2 hrs and 10 mins ... if forgot to mention the machine locked up so i was in it for an extra 10mins ... ekkkk talk about a freak out haha... but lol my tech was an interesting guy to chat with.. you know my friend Jason always said you meet interesting people in MRI lol ... he would talk to them all the time to calm them down =) ... and this tech did just that... I will see the tech on Thursday again when he reads me the report =) .
