Just got home from my Brain MRI. [View all]

(I knew what it was for!)

I'm worried, and a little scared.

Maybe we'll find out why my right arm and hand feel like they belong
to someone else. Been like this since the end of June. Finally got to
see the neurosurgeon two weeks ago, (First available appt.!!) he
ordered the MRI.

I'm well into the double-digits of major surgeries, hope I won't have to
get a 3rd laminectomy.

(That's when they remove portions of your cervical vertebrae (in your
neck) when it impinges on your spinal cord.) Happened twice so far
2009 and 2021.

Just have to hope for the best I guess.
