Waiting for results

Today's tests are all complete, now we're back to the waiting game. 

We left here this morning at 7:15, figured we'd leave plenty of time for traffic and finding a parking spot - so of course we got to Rush in 15 minutes and found a spot right away.  Then because we were so early there was no wait at the lab for the first blood draw - we got to the MRI waiting room over an hour early.  Shawn asked when he should take his pill and the receptionist said she'd let him know.  A few minutes later she said go ahead and take it now - they ended up taking him back a full hour before his appointment, at 8:15 instead of 9:15!

After taking the Valium Shawn was just sitting and reading a magazine and didn't feel anything - till they called him back and he tried to stand up, that is.  He said the MRI was fine, he kept his eyes closed and was just fine.  At one point he said he heard ringing and said 'Hello' thinking it was a phone.  

Went to Cosi for breakfast after it was all over;  Shawn was still a little loopy but hungry (he wasn't allowed to eat before the tests).
