Well, it was quite the event, my MRI 
. It took 4 nurses and one doctor to find a vein to use for the contrast dye. The dr used my artery in my wrist, which hurt. Then, when it was over I had a really bad headache when I sat up, and I asked if that was normal. They said yea, you've been laying there in that position, it's probably just muscle tension. It should go away. Well, it didn't. The next day I awoke with a terrible migraine 
, couldn't get up because the pain was so intense, threw up , so I called radiology to see if that was normal. Turns out I had a bad reaction to the contrast dye, who knew. They said to saty laying down and drink lots of fluids. SO I did, I peed a lot, and the next day felt much better. Now, I am just waiting on the results...

. I can't remember if I said or not, but the neurologist says he is doing this as a precaution, he doesn't think I have MS like mom, but he does think I have Chronic Pain Syndrome. All I know, is I hurt and I don't want to anymore...
..lol. The best news--- I cannot get it wet so that means no showers for 2 days and I have church tomorrow night. This should be good!! Guess maybe I could talk my hubby into a sponge bath.. 
Anyway, we were engaged the following April, on a full moon, at a lake, super romantic. He asked to see my class ring which is what I wore on my married ring finger cause I knew we would be married. Now this was no ordinary class ring, it was the only ring my dad had bought me and it had a real emerald and diamonds. I, of course, handed it to him. He purposely dropped it safely in the gravel where he could see it. When he picked it up, he also picked up a small rock, which I knew nothing about. He said, "You don't need that anymore." and tossed it into the lake. My heart totally stopped... I could not believe it. Before I started crying though, he showed me my class ring again, and said give me your hand, I'll put it back on. I put out my hand and instead of my class ring he slipped on an engagement ring and dropped to his knee. The rest is history... I fell wholeheartedly in love, deeply and purely, for my husband. All 318 of my man. I didn't care that he was bigger. He was my teddy bear. We became pregnant soon after marrying and as I gained 40 lbs, he gained 100. Every time we ate out, I couldn't finish my meal, and leftovers made me sick, he was raised to eat everything, so he did... and again the rest is history. I love him just as much as I did 11 years ago, but I long for the day when I can actually hug him again like I used to, or lay next to him in bed and really snuggle close. He will always be my teddy bear no matter what, and I will live the rest of my life with him if he never lost a pound, I just know his life wont be long enough for me or for him if he doesn't have this surgery, and as scary as it is for me, I can't imagine how scary it is for him...
