My dad came to watch MJ while I went in for my breast MRI.  The nurse that accessed my port for me is the same one that I have talked to about my father-in-law in the past so she asked me how he was doing.  I said that he had passed away and she was sorry to hear that.  Although we both agreed that it was probably a blessing for him that he went quickly and didn't have to suffer for an extended length of time...

My MRI went fine and thankfully I didn't have to cough at all!  (I still have a little bit of a cough.)  One slightly annoying thing about each of my scans and MRIs is that I alway seem to have to fill out the same paperwork and answer the same questions everytime.  It is slightly annoying when the answers have not changed from one scan to the next and they should have access to all of my medical records anyways!  So no, I am not pregnant and there is no chance that I will be.  My family history of breast cancer and ovarian cancer has not changed.  I do not have diabetes and I am not on any type of dialysis.  I have never worked as a metal worker or had any type of job working with metal.  The only metal in my body is my power port and a dental implant.  (Although I can never seem to find the right check box to mark for the power port.  I actually had to look up some of the questions on the internet because I didn't even know what they were asking!)  And even though they had called me two weeks before to ask me questions before the MRI that I cancelled, they had to call two weeks later and ask the exact same questions!
