Dr. Z called me at work today to see if the redness was going down. He also asked if I had a fever at all. I told him no changes and no fever. I asked him if he knew if the Cleveland Clinic had a bigger tube. He said he would check into it. I told him that I would also check with my sister who works at Lutheran General in Chicago.
I looked online and found that ACMH in Kittanning, PA supposedly had a big tube. I called and spoke to an MRI tech. He said that they had the biggest tube made which was 70 cm. He said most were 52-55 cm. At least I think he said 70 cm. I called my sister and she checked with their MRI department and they said theirs was 77 cm. Anyways, I put in a call to ACMH's scheduling department and had to leave a message. Called Dr. Z back and left a message letting him know that I was trying to schedule another MRI.
The tech said that if it was a regular MRI I probably wouldn't have a problem in the smaller tube. It's because you have to take into account the coil that your chest is propped up on for a breast MRI. It cuts down on the available space. Anyways, I'm willing to try it again.
Steelers are on Thursday night football and currently the score is 10-7, Steelers. It's snowing out there and looks pretty darned cold. I am looking forward to my hot shower and heater!
