MRI

Tuesday I had my MRI, which was at 1:30. I was told not to eat or drink anything for four hours before, so I was pretty hungry by the time I got there. They apparently had a MRI scheduled before mine that took a lot longer than they thought so I had to wait. Waiting kills me because I was nervous to begin with and now I had to sit there and have my anxiety build up before I went in. All I could imagine was being in that coffin-like thing for an hour. They finally took me in around 2:15 to do a screening which basically consists of them asking me a million questions. The radiologist informed me that as long as the babay wasn't moving around too much it should only take 20 minutes. This put my mind at ease a bit. They put me in my hospital gown and brought me in.
I've had a MRI in the past for migraines, but it was an open MRI, because of my claustrophobia. I was shocked at the difference in size. She told me I'd only be going in up to my head because all they needed to scan was my belly. I laid down with some earplugs and prayed I wouldn't pass out from the anxiety. I kind of freaked out at first, but after the first minute I calmed down and relaxed and it wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined it was going to be. I get up and get dressed and they said ok have a nice day. I guess I expcted a little more, like we'll call you with the results or something. So I guess it's just back home to play the waiting game.
