When N at Hope Research said I would need to have my MRI and all my appointments on the same day, I decided that, yes, first thing in the morning would be my best option. So I wouldn't have to wait an hour or two like the last time. I thought I was running late but I put it on my calendar a little early so I wouldn't be. I ended up waiting about a half hour, so I think that was a good choice. The technician seemed to be "nicer" to me after she knew that I get MRIs just about every year. I did get to snooze a little during my MRI.
When I left, I ran into Starbucks for my reward: a latte and a pastry. Yummo. Then I went to the doctors' office and filled out paperwork for N. I saw Dr. M, did his balance tests and all that. Then Dr. G saw me. I explained my issue with obtaining Provigil at a huge price. He gave me some samples of Nuvigil and told me to call my insurance to see if they would cover it differently.
N and I went to Sonora for my blood draw. The lady who took my blood (a lot of tubes this visit) opened a new bandage roll so that she could match my shirt. Then N and I went back to the Research Center and I did the rest of the tests, including the peg test, the numbers test, and the vanishing eye chart test. We talked about the extension and I signed my paperwork. I also asked about something I noticed on the MRI paperwork--it asked about tattoos. N said that they sometimes see a blurry spot in areas that have tattoos. I guess that means I'll have to get my tattoo on my leg, ankle, foot area.
