Today’s weight was 147.8, which was a moderate increase of 0.7lbs from yesterday. Purely water weight, as well as the fact that I weighed myself a good 4 hours earlier than yesterday, as I woke up 4 hours earlier at 4.30am without an alarm clock… ah well!
So I had my MRI yesterday and I must say, it never gets old for me. The nurses are so mortified when they figure out they’re ill equipped when it comes to stabbing me with needles to put the contrast agent in as my veins run deep naturally, but there’s also a good level of insulation on top of them. They can’t see my veins, they can barely even feel them, if at all.
A few stabs to my elbow joints later, the 2 nurses give up and call for a doctor to do it. The doctor, in all of his might picks up a bigger needle, jabs it into the back of my hand and wiggles it around till he hits a vein. I kid you not these are the words he used,”Well there’s a lot of blood coming out, so there must be a vein there!”
Yeah, thanks Sherlock, you cracked the case once more.
So that’s what it’s like for me to get stabbed with needles, I better be really good at enduring it – as it’s never just one and done, no, at a minimum 4 stabs. Think it’s worse for the highly professional medical staff though, it’s a hit to their pride as well as the fact that they don’t exactly enjoy causing patients pain needlessly, or with needles!
The tube felt like I fit in it better actually this time! Think I still need to drop at least 50 lbs for it to be comfortable though, but hey, I’ll get there! What a weird aspiration to have… to fit into the MRI tube better!
My exercise today was just walking, lots and lots of walking and a little bit of muscle work with my kettlebell. Nothing exciting there!
