Dude I know the feel on MRI's. I had one about 6 weeks ago to measure a tumor in my eye socket that I am getting cut out in about 3 hours.

45 minutes of banging noises to where you can't focus sucks. Sorry you have had so many at such a young age.

Best of luck to you.

UPDATE Next Morning

Thank you all so much for the well wishes. Here I was trying to commiserate with the Amazing Mr. Gray and y'all went out of your way for me. As I type this my left eye is essentially swollen shut this morning and between that and the bandages I can barely open it but I am not experiencing much pain.

The surgery itself was anticipated to be 1 hour but lasted 2.5. I was partially sedated for the whole thing and used lots of local anesthetic. The Dr. told my wife I was very talkative throughout but my recollection was sharing what I could feel as he was working, asking questions about the procedure, and giving relative context to one of the complications that came up.

As for the tumor itself. When scanned via MRI with a follow up CT it was estimated to be about 1.5cm and it was apparently a little larger than 2cm when removed. It was also further up and behind my eye in the socket which required the doctor to move my eye before he could fully remove the tumor. The other small complication was the tumor had a large vessel providing it a strong blood supply which had to be dealt with. Those two factors are what extended it from 1 to 2.5 hours.

As for my prognosis. I should know in the next week or so. The good news is, the thing came out entirely in one piece and it did not appear anything was left behind. In the event it was malignant I should be in pretty good shape.

Again, thank you all for the well wishes and support.

For over 15 years now my wife and I will Kiss before our first bite of any meal we have together. Outside of infrequent business trips we make a point of always having dinner together and we meet for lunch as often as possible.

I've been married to the same woman 15 years and though we've had ups and downs we are going strong.

Her parents are still married after 40+ years.

My Father married 5 times total, my mother was his 3rd. He walked away from the altar two additional times and was engaged to be married when he died.

My Mother is on her 3rd marriage and after 20 years seems to have finally found the one she will live out her life with.

I obviously don't know all the details of your relationship with your Father, but he is still alive and I am sure he wants to hear from you.

I'm sorry. As a father myself I can't imagine not wanting to hear from my kids. I know my own Father was estranged from his kids from his first marriage and it tore at him every day even though he had my sister and I.

go to lowsec, fight people.
