MRI

Went to get an MRI today - first time. Wasn't sure what to expect and I even did a little research on the internet to prepare myself for the scan. I'm not claustrophobic, but the thought of entering the tube was beginning to get to me. 

The night before the MRI I did a little research on the internet to see how folks cope with MRIs. There was a lot of advice. Techniques including emotional freedom, neuro-lingustic, hypnosis, etc. No time to practice the techniques as my appointment was the very next morning. 

Get to the MRI room and I was thinking - I got this, nothing to it. Lay still and it will be over in a few minutes. Then the tech starts explaining the process. . . not only did I have to lay still, I had to have my head locked down and the scan was going to take 40 minutes. 20 minutes for the first round and then an injection and back into the MRI for another round of 20 minutes.

It's a distant memory now. . . thank goodness. . .
