May I promise you that an MRI does NOT hurt? The tech will be kind and patient because he/she doesn't want you to move the slightest bit. The tech will offer you a nice, toasty warm blanket and ask which music you want to listen to. There will be LOTS of loud noise but that cannot cause any pain - just startle you a bit if the tech doesn't tell you it coming.

You will be so surprised that you won't feel any pain... just hear the noise. If you aren't offered ear plugs (and I bet you are) ask for some :hug:

I consider myself an expert on MRIs - lol- I have those things done on my head every 3 months - :eek:

And BJ, you won't be in there alone...we're right there with you...I'd tell you to check your pockets but not sure you'll have any. :rolleyes:

:Wave-Hello: @ Jingle

I wonder who ordered BJ's MRI, because you can tell your doctor that you are claustrophobic and they can order a couple of valium for it. My doctor does. I've had too many MRI's to count but I still get the willy nillies goin in head first, lol.

Another sleep study tonight. Hopefully this time I will actually go to sleep since I never achieved REM sleep the first time.

A nice warm toasty blanket sounds real good right now. :D I just hope they play the music real loud. I almost took a Klonopin but sometimes it makes my stomach do back flips like it's doing now.

Better get this over with. :eek:

Ok BJ....*grin. We want a full report! :hug:

Yes -- I'm waiting for BJ's report and I want news about Doody's sleep apnea test.

I do wonder when BJ will get her report. I hear the results of mine within a few minutes. As soon as they are "developed" the tech hands them to me, I carry them to the neurosurgeon's office staff and hand them in. A few minutes later I meet with him and he has the results.

:( i got a platter full.

:grouphug: but i won't let it get to me. i love you all. ty for all the support and the friendship. i wish words could tell y'all how much it means to me.

You don't need to struggle for the words Curious..we all know how you feel and it's mutual. :hug:

Maybe Doody is still sleeping....:D

And BJ.....well.. here's a warm hug. :grouphug:

We are going to take the train into Chicago today...have tickets to see Josh Groban Sat. night and I hope I'm not disappointed. Someone told us they'd seen him Tues. night in Grand Rapids and his show is "glitzy"..whatever that means. :confused:

I didn't realize you were waiting. Didn't even turn on the computer last night. :( I went back to work after and worked until 8:30 to make up for the time. Then...crashed. ;)

It wasn't all "that" bad. I just know it's my first and hopefully last. I got so nervous I got sick on the way there and had to pull over. It was sooo loud though and I kept thinking the machine was going to break and I'd be stuck in there. :eek: But I finally calmed down and got it done. I can pick them up on Monday and then need an appt with NS. But first I have to be able to get out of work. My boss didn't like my leaving yesterday.

Alffe I hope you enjoy Josh Groban. :D Let me know how it is because I have tickets for March 1st at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.

Doody I hope you were able to sleep and maybe still sleeping. :D

For da monkey.................. :hug: :hug:

a BIG platter full of love and support for Curious
 

:grouphug: is there anyone who deserves it more? :grouphug:
