Maybe I am just really desperate for some alone time, some rest and some solitude, but I found my MRI today to be really relaxing. I got to wear a fabulous robe that I swear was made from like 600 count sheets! I got to select some nice music and I got to lay completely still for 30 minutes. Maybe it was the Valium they gave me, but I really enjoyed the whole ordeal.
Maybe I had just built it up to be this horrible thing in my mind, and in the end, it really was not that bad (nothing in my life has ever been as awful as I've imagined it would be!).
I spent some time in hysterics tonight (and so did Anna) because I was misinformed by the nurse that I would not be able to nurse for FIVE DAYS. I calmed down recently and did some research (some really reputable medical journals, not just Le Leche League type sites) and was relieved to find out that the normal recommended amount of time is 24 hours. Even in 24 hours, Anna would receive MORE than 100 times LESS than the allowable dose of the dye for a child her age and size. I have already waited almost 15 hours. And most of the research was saying that there was really no need for mothers to abstain for even one feeding. It's not like a radioactive substance or anything.
Apologies to any males who might read this!
