[Pamster]

I only spent 30 minutes in the machine and they played my def leppard CD for me so that totally helped, letting Joe Elliott sing to me while I kept my mind on the music and NOT the banging testing machine above and below me. I was stunned when she turned it down and said, "Ok, you're all done."

I am so happy, I planned to take the lorazepam about an hour and a half before the time I was meant to get in the scanner and it worked, only had a little anxiety when intially going INTO the machine (It was an open one or I couldn't handle it) but I closed my eyes and this went away instantly.

I had some anxiety while the test was going on, like I was itchy on my shoulder or my leg, and thought my swallowing would ruin the test, but thankfully it didn't! It's all over with now. All that's left is to see what the Pain Doc thinks of the results, I do NOT want to go on anything stronger, I just wanted to know why my neck is snapping and what was going on to cause more pain.

Should know those answers Thursday. Nothing going on tomorrow, and Wednesday Jackie is going to be home all day because we go to Gainesville for his pdoc appt. then I go thursday to get the test results and see the pain doc, and friday the health dept is holding a dental day where they are giving away one free extraction or simple filling for the first 100 people there. I hope to get there before too long and be in the first 100. It starts at 7 am and Jackie doesn't get on the bus til 8:15 so I can't get there til about 8:30. I hope they haven't filled up by then. Only time will tell...
