MRA

I had my MRA yesterday. It went..ok..



I arrived EARLY! Honestly I was surprised I found it so easily. If you know me personally, you know that I'm not the greatest with directions... I mean seriously, I get lost in parking lots... I filled out all my paperwork and then got the text from Wifey's Hubby that BabyGirl was born. I got teary-eyed. I really wanted to be there :(



After filling out the paper work, I sat and waited for a little while. Then the tech came and got me and brought me next door to the hospital. I had to get the injection at the hospital. So she had me verify more stuff and I sat and waited for the tech to get me again.



A student came and got me and said I just needed to undress from the waist down. That wasn't too bad! But he was impatient. He was like, are you ok in there? Dude, can you seriously give me a few minutes? Obviously if you don't already know why I'm here, I'm having hip problems. Give me some time to take off my pants.



Then we went into the room they were going to do the procedure in. They hadn't set up so they got out all their little tools and what not. Then they had me lie down on the table and wait for the doctor to come in.

The doctor came in and he was VERY nice. He listened to me and he knew all about FAI and labral tears and everything. I really liked him. He joked here and there while he was doing it. It didn't hurt too badly, but honestly, my emotions got the better of me and I started crying. It was finally getting to me that I am going through this AGAIN! He kept asking if I was ok, and all I could do was nod. I told him when it felt like my joint was really tight and he stopped injecting. He didn't even hit my bone. I wish I could have him every time!



I got dressed and walked back over to the MRI building and was still kinda crying. The tech asked if I needed anything and I shook my head no. So she put me in the dressing room and told me to come out when I was ready. I tried to make myself look a tiny bit more composed... I put eye drops in and took a few deep breaths.



I walked out to the MRI and they strapped me onto the table. They gave me ear plugs, and it made me sad. They didn't have music in this MRI like they did at the other place. They loaded me in and I closed my eyes and just tried to clear my mind. I got teary a few more times but by the time I was out I was feeling ok. I got dressed and then I called Sweetie to let him know I was done. We went out to lunch and then off to see Wifey's beautiful BabyGirl!



Then (yes there's more) I was supposed to have an appointment with Lazzarini to go over my MRA. But SOMEONE decided to go to freaking surgery instead of looking at my beautiful face and telling me about my dumb MRA. So later this morning I had the bright idea of having my Supervisor call and get the report so I could at least see what the radiologist said. I went to lunch and when I got back the report was there. I read it and it says that I have a 1cm tear in my labrum.



I just don't know what to do anymore. I mean seriously. He was supposed have fixed me. I have a few questions now for him. This is ridiculous. I want to know if this tear is in the same spot. Did he miss it? When did it happen? Why did it happen post-op if it did, I mean he took care of the FAI! (or so he says...)



I'm not sure if I should have called and gotten the report like I had my Supervisor do...but now I'm goint to have a lot to google over the weekend so I can bombard him with questions. UGH! But BabyGirl made it all better last night when I saw her :)
