Today is the day I meet with Dr. Lukafitz

I began my Wednesday morning in Dartmouth at 8:00 a.m. by getting up in my hotel room. Once I was out of bed, I took my shower while my parents in the joining room were getting ready. Once we had done so, we then went to eat breakfast from the hotel menue. I had a waffle with a side order of bacon. At 9:45 we went back to the room While waiting for my parents I had brushed my teeth then did my breathing and speech exercises. At 10:30 we had checked out of the hotel. We then walked around Dartmouth. We first went into a book store. At 11:30 we then left the bookstore and made our way over to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Upon our arrivel we rested in the truck before going into the hospital at 12:00. Upon doing so we had checked in and registered. I then waited to be called to have my M.R.I. Once I was called I first had to put on johny pants, shirt, and robe. I then put my things in a locker before making my way over to the M.R.I. machine. While in the M.R.I. I had three minutes of the first set of pictures, one minute of the nexted, then ten minutes of the third set. Once I was done of the M.R.I. my mother, father and I then met with the Doctor. Dr. Lukafitz told us he would have to wait for the rediologist to read the results before he was to get any word on my M.R.I. results. As we spoke with Doctor Lukafitz, he sounded descourage as he gave us feedback. In reality there was nothing he could do. I think I felt worse for the Doctor that he could not do anything for me then I did for myself that there was nothing that could be done. Although it would be nice, but it is somethnig I guess I am going to have to live with knowing I could have another stroke at anytime. But then again there are the odds I might not. After talking with the Doctor, we then left for home at 3:00. We had stopped along the way to get a bight to eat before arriving home at 7:20. I then sat down to blog before calling it a day.
