Before my diagnosis came back I scoured the net looking for real life images & references to help me understand what I was dealing with. So I'm sharing this with you, hoping to aid anyone elses who finds themselves in a similar situation.

Forgot to mention

Had the MRI today - all in all it wasn't a bad experience. I actually found it rather relaxing and would have enjoyed staying there longer - the only bad part was getting lost on our way there (somehow these incidents always end up being my fault - which brings out feelings/emotions I truly would rather not be dealing with at this time).

And of course, the obligatory waiting for the results.

Hate that part.
