”Change your thoughts, and you change your world.” – Norman Vincent Peale
It’s MRI day and we are headed to Columbus yet again. It’s about an hour and twenty five minutes each way to the different facilities we would have to go. I didn’t mind as everyone so far treated me and my family that would go with me to my visits so well. I’m not at all claustrophobic, but was told this MRI is a special one and will last 50 minutes so that had me a little anxious. I had my sister in law Debbie take me so that I could take a Valium to calm my nerves. Now, I am by no way a little girl so mind you several times before we even get to this day I wanted to make sure I didn’t drive all this way and waste my sister in law’s or my time if I didn’t fit into the MRI machine. After getting back with the technicians and getting all the pre questions answered the one guy looked at me weird. I said to him you are worried I won’t fit? (Because I have no filter). His answer was I think you will, but it will be tight. He asked if I was willing to try as this is the best machine if I am planning on having DBS surgery. It was almost forty minutes and I hung in there, but I was snug in there like a sardine in a tin can. I thought my happy thoughts and did it. Stay tuned for more…
