Just got back from my psychiatrist's office, where the hospital sent the MRI results.
I don't understand all the big words, but it seems they ruled out the three worst things of which I was thinking: tumor, stroke and hemorrhage. I don't have those.
They did detect a teeny tiny itsy bitsy cyst. Ulp. But my psychiatrist said it was barely enough to be measured, so she wants me to go to my neurologist and see if he wants to do check up scans every one to five years, to make sure nothing has gotten worse.
So that's what I'll do.
Oh, and extra super huge thank-yous to all the DU hoomins and critters who have sent good words to Ceiling Cat for me. I think I'll hang around a while, just to bug everybody.

(141,926 posts)and as to a teeny tiny itsy bitsy cyst, my doc found one, in/near my lung, upon further investigation mri determined it's a growth of some sort that's been there for a long time, never before detected, not causing any harm, and rechecking it annually as it hasn't grown in 6 months, so
I'm still here too!
