Tests today
I am up (and have been since about 4:15) for my MRI and EEG on my noggin. It has been a pretty rough weekend with my anxiety way up. I am afraid of finding out something bad. I am afraid that all of this is not a simple chemical imbalance, and that I might have something really terribly wrong with me. I am no where near ready for that kind of news.
I try and believe everything will be alright, but it is hard.
I won't have long to wait on one of the tests. i should know if something is horribly wrong by tomorrow afternoon. I am actually taking my MRI screens with me today. The EEG, well that takes a week to get the results from. I am not sure if I am as afraid of those results, as they are brain wave readings. The MRI on the other hand...that shows if there is something festering on my brain somewhere.
On the subject of bad news, I spoke with my mother last night. Apparently, the impression I got from her was incorrect. She may have had this tumor for up to 5 years. The doctors are worried that it has spread to other areas of her body. they also said that they were lucky to find it in the first place. It showd up only as a shadow on her mamogram. It is very small, but it has been there for some time. She is going in for a battery of tests as well. I have to try and stay positive for her.
