This was as close to a miracle as I’ve experienced in a very long time. It came from out of the blue.<\/p>\n

Two days ago, in my first blog post in nearly a week, I provided a medical update that explained that I was waiting to get in for an MRI before having surgery on my back. Medical imaging services around here are seriously backed up so I was told that it could be up to 3 weeks (“about 13 working days”) before they’d call me for an appointment. My pain levels vary from moderate to severe so I wasn’t looking forward to having to wait that long before even being able to discuss the timing of my surgery with my orthopedic surgeon. I was highly discouraged.<\/p>\n

Then, yesterday morning as soon as I got up, I noticed that during the night someone named “Bobbi” had made the following comment on my medical update post.<\/p>\n

“Hi Ron, I could get you in tomorrow for your MRI. If you call 801-XXX-XXXX I\u2019ll be there scanning tomorrow. I did your MRI last time. Depends upon insurance authorization but we can get the girls working on it ok.”<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whoa, what’s going on here? Is this some kind of scam or spam or pfishing attempt? My first clue that it might possibly be legit was the fact that I didn’t have to approve her comment, which meant that Bobbi had made at least one comment on my blog sometime in the past and I had approved it. Then I remembered that 11 months ago, when I had my last MRI on my back, the technician had been very interested in birds so I had probably told her about my blog. Maybe Bobbi was that technician?<\/p>\n

To make a long story somewhat shorter, by coordinating with my surgeon’s office regarding insurance and doctor’s orders and calling the number that Bobbi provided, I was able to set up an appointment to have my MRI done at noon yesterday. And it was Bobbi who made it all happen.<\/p>\n

My MRI is now behind me and my orthopedic surgeon already has the interpreted results!<\/p>\n

And this is Bobbi, my hero. She graciously agreed to a few photos before I was slid into her incredibly noisy and confining ‘tube of madness and miracles’ for nearly an hour. I’ve now had two MRI’s from Bobbi and I can vouch for the fact that she’s very, very good at what she does.<\/p>\n

As I suspected when I was told that my appointment would be at noon, Bobbi gave up her lunch break to administer my MRI. She claimed it was “no big deal”.<\/p>\n

It turns out that she’s been following my blog ever since I had my first MRI nearly a year ago. She loves nature and birds (especially Chukars) and her home is high on the east bench where she has an excellent view of what’s left of the Great Salt Lake. So she’s very concerned about the environmental consequences of losing the lake, a concern that we share.<\/p>\n

As a feeble way of showing my gratitude I’ve offered Bobbi a print of one of my photos, any size and any photo of her choice. I hope she takes me up on it. Based on her reaction I think she will.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Bobbi – for potentially saving me from several weeks of pain and discomfort.<\/p>\n

Ron<\/p>\n
