The talkative ride up...

October 9th, 2009

We woke up at 4:30am to leave for our appointment. Another MRI - another Doctors appointment with Dr. Rudnick and Rebbecca.


We have seemed to get into a somewhat comfortable space this summer. A busy not thinking solely about tumors, cancer, RSV and crap...but more about life....Kids, beach, 1yr old walking, pools, BBQs and just normalcy....


This past week has been awkward, and it seems reality has snuck up on us..."oh ya that thing, the tumor.." a bit stress full, Paul has seemed a bit more crazier than normal... I think with the last scan being so positive, he, we hope for the best but prepare for the worst...

Unfortunately, the last year has prepared us for those unwanted responses...


Even though it was 5am, Paul had plenty of things to share...and sleep was not happening for me, but he got some thing off his mind that I knew had been bugging him...

When we arrived at Cedars, they told us that two assistants that help with the scans called in sick...(it was Friday morning, hell I can't blame the kids for a good time on Thursday night.)


We explained we had an appointment at 9:30am with Dr. Rudnick and for some reason they seem to feel a sense of urgency to move us along, maybe Dr. Rudnick's street cred is starting to flow through the hospital...


The one young assistant that made it to work was extremely kind, understood our appointment schedule and hurried me through.

Paul and I walked back to the kick-ass new MRI machine.. They were giddy with excitement to tell us that I was one of the first to get a scan from the machine...Good or bad ?????

Bamm, I was out in a flash, didn't even have a chance to get caught up from my lack of sleep from the talkative ride up.

and off we went...Rudnick here we come....
