Here's What I Learned
Went in for that MRI yesterday. I won't know anything about that until the doctor reads it and gets back to me.
But I did learn that I am just a teensy tad bit claustrophobic.
They did 4 different scans, one of which we had to start over in the middle of it because I moved my hand. Another had to be re-done because there was too much movement on my part. I really didn't think I moved. It was kind of hard to with my HEAD TAPED DOWN TO THE BOARD and all. But apparently I must have swallowed too much or something.
The MRI technician recommended that if I ever needed to do this again to have the doctor order a mild sedative because she has been doing this for 18 years, and she knows claustrophobic when she sees it. I did not know that there was a camera completely zoomed in on my face for her to keep tabs on my reactions.
