About a year ago my sister mentioned to me that our Mother (I loved her so very much, but she was very distressed at times) tried to abort me using alcohol. I don't know how much what trimester or how many times. I am going for an MRI (brain) on Tuesday. I have been in Therapy for approx 8 years, I won't say for what here. At first when she told me I was in shock but under control. As the year went along I just started to come unglued. I am a grandma now and when I tell people what she told me, they ask me: "why did she wait to tell you now?" Well, I have no good answer.

Okay, I have questions and am a little nervous about a couple of things:

1. What to expect during before and after the MRI

2. Ho long it will take

3. Will I be poked with something

4. Why did Dr up it to next when they told me a wait as long as 3 to 4 months can be expected.

Any help will be appreciated. I am familiar with brain things becuase my husband had a brain anyeurism when our kids were much much younger.

Thanks!
