A long day

We sat out this morning hoping to get some of the MRIs done and possibly the xrays.  The MRI place was about 20-30 minutes from house where we are staying - got a cab- another $30!  Got there and they took Vanessa in to get the MRI, then asked if I wanted to go! It went so smoothly with it being a stand-up MRI.  Was so much easier for Vanessa.  The machine didn't move at all so there wasn't that scary thing to deal with.  The did 2 MRIs and since Vanessa was so determined to get them all done today, they told us to go to lunch and then come back.  She got ALL FOUR MRIs done today!  I was so proud of her.  I can't imagine sitting through that - it was 5 hours of MRIs.  She never complained, was still smiling when we left there for the cab ride back to the house (another $30).  On the way she decided we had enough time to go to the hospital to get the xrays and CAT scan and she wanted them all done today so that's where we went.  She signed in and about an hour and a half later she was completely done.  She got everything accomplished today that she had to do.  All of the tests are done. . . now the waiting begins. 

I'm a big doofus. . . I just re-read this and realized how lucky we are to have insurance and only have to pay for the cab ride.  Someone told us the MRIs she had today were $12,000.  What am I complaining about!  Geez.  Sorry. 

We're going to bed now. . . it's been a long day.
