My Alzheimer's Journey

Part 31 - MRI Day

Today was MRI Day.

It was not a fun day. Being trapped in a small, tube-like space triggers my anxiety. The requirement to be still for twenty minutes is challenging. And, the noise. Loud, banging, and unrelenting.

I know the value of the MRI scan. Anyone receiving Lecanemab infusions must have regular MRI scans to make certain there is no brain swelling or bleeding. This adds to my anxiety.

The scan went well. The patient care was outstanding. The facilities and equipment are top-notch.

It will be three or four days before I know the results of the scan.

After watching election results tonight, I may hibernate until the MRI scan results are available.
