Well, yes,I like to think so!   ;D

However, you have to remember, he's been in the Navy for almost 18 years - I can guarantee anything I cook has got to be better than what he's used to on the ship!  I keep telling him one of these days I'm going to open up a can of Alpo, put a garnish of parsley on top and he'd probably want seconds!  So, I don't need to be a gourmet, I pretty much just need to know how to work the can opener and the microwave.

I had a second MRI at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary yesterday.  The space was so tight I thought I might not fit.  The first one I had at my local hospital was alot more open even though I never asked for an open MRI.  I'm not claustraphobic or I would never have lasted yesterday.  The top of the  machine was right on top of me.  No breathing room.  I quote the technician, "They don't have this technology in the suburbs.  People come from all over the world for this machine."  Considering that, 40 miles wasn't so far to travel.

The consultation with the surgeon was postponed to Friday because he had an emergency.  Currently, I feel fine except for the tinnitus and hearing loss.

Stay tuned...

Hi iholl,
I know what you mean about the open MRI.  I am going for a follow-up MRI and am hoping and praying it is an open MRI.  I felt sick during the first one and it was an open MRI. If this one isn't I'll probably panic.  Now that I said that, I should probably check and find out which it is.  Anyway, good luck.  I hopw you get the results and meeting with the surgeon soon.

Happy pills, wow they never offered me any.  They kept me in the machine for 1.5 hours and about an hour in I really had to use the bathroom and they got so upset with me.  When you got to go you got to go.  I bet they wished they had given me the happy pills.  ;) 16
