MRI - Pre Surgery

I had been all set to make my first attempt at making Carbonara.

Unfortunately, the MRI I had to do earlier in the day turned out a little different that it was supposed to. Because the MRI is to be used during the surgery, it came with a particular 'protocol' that included dye being injected into me. Normal enough.

And then it all became new. First, they couldn't get a proper spot for the needle so after loads of prodding, they finally found a tiny vein the dye could go through. When it did, I felt cold like I've never felt before.

Normal for them, completely new to me. Never mind that when I got back, I craved more for my bed than the urge to make Carbonara which I must now look forward to doing after my surgery. Till then, next week's Monday New.s will be new for a lot of people but one I'll have to do. So, here's to the surgeon's knife and to coming out of it, all intact.
