MRI or not ...

             An MRI machine is not very big? who knew?

Yesterday I was supposed to have an MRI, after being poked and prodded all afternoon. I apparently am claustrophobic...I couldn't do it. When they closed the cage over my face and slide me into the tube I got panicky. I asked her to take me back out!! She said it was a common occurrence and not to worry, but I did worry and I felt really bad, like I was going to get in trouble... I'm 56 not 6!! lol

Thank goodness the doctor is willing to put me a sleep prior to surgery and do it just before surgery Friday! What a relief!! Thank you Dr. Spetzler!!

I don't blame you. I am claustrophobic too. Sometimes I am ok and sometimes not. Ask my Kids about when we went on the "Back to the future Ride" at Universal. lol.. Let's just say they still haven't stopped teasing me about it :) You have a great Doctor and it will all be okay. Love you Robin.. You are a brave gal :)
