This was a really busy day with the MRV in the morning and the Dr consultation at four.
The MRV was like any MRI; an hour and a half of loud buzzing, banging, clanging and hammering to the backdrop of classical music. Oh, and with no moving, and having every possible itch but not being able to scratch. It felt like a clockwork orange moment, except I don't hate classical music any more than I ever did. For the most part I swallowed, sniffled, and coughed during the silent moments between all the racket. About three quarter's of the way through I had to ask him to stop so I could cough three or four times.
All in all the technician said I did good and the pictures came out great.
The consultation seemed to be a lot of paperwork and an awful lot o waiting, but we met Dr. Grewal, the doctor who would be doing the surgery. Irene an I had about 15 ~20 minutes one on one chat with the doctor. She said the MRV indicated some blockage in both jugulars. I think shew said 50% in the left one and 70% in the right. This is good bad news. There is a problem, but there is also something to fix.
We asked some very poignant questions, although I can't remember what they were, and got some very honest answers. It was good. I felt comfortable with the doctor.
We went in for the consultation appointment at four and left at six, so even with the waiting we had a good meeting with the doctor.
The operation is tomorrow. I cannot have any food or drink after midnight.
This is going to happen.
