I have not had one, and now I see what goes on...<BR/>I don't envy you; 60 minutes in there !! But, it's for the right cause.<BR/>Just hoping that you get the right treatment now to alleviate the pain.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you healing, my friend.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717159905482468936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7117787.post-64239082983322929902008-10-28T00:42:00.000-04:002008-10-28T00:42:00.000-04:00Sorry to hear about the pain...hopefully they can ...Sorry to hear about the pain...hopefully they can take care of it soon!<BR/>Ah yes, the MRI coffin. "You're not claustrophobic, are you?" (No). <BR/>"What kind of music would you like?" <BR/>(It doesn't matter, just not rap or country). <BR/>"Don't move" (but what if I gotta sneeze?)<BR/>Turned out to be lymph nodes under my chin. When I had surgery to remove them, they put the IV needle taped to my *HAND* and it fucking HURT!!! <BR/>I cried, and they came and brought me something to add into the IV (which must've been what they used to knock me out because I felt relaxed right away, and I'll be damned if I remember anything after they shot me up with drugs LOL.debi_in_Hawaiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08671257827531953043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7117787.post-77438605158576887522008-10-27T21:11:00.000-04:002008-10-27T21:11:00.000-04:00Bummer.

I didn't bring any music, but they had headphones there and asked me what station I wanted to listen to (WTOS of course). Believe it or not, even with all the noise, I fell asleep in the thing - lol. Whatever, it was a quick power nap.<BR/><BR/>MRIs are exceptionally expensive. Insurance companies HATE it when Docs send people to them. Depending on what your deductible and co-insurance is you might be spending a pretty penny.ElderGuru.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362712555356405003noreply@blogger.com
