I had my MRI on Thursday. That wasn't the best experience of my life but it wasn't the worst either. First, the test was scheduled for 11 but I had to check in to the hospital at 10:30. After they get me registered, they take me back to start an IV. It was then that they tell me that they were down one machine and running about an hour and a half late. Great-but I was already there and just wanted to get it over with. So I get in my gown and robe and they take me to a waiting room where I waited for about two hours. Once I finally got into the machine, I was freaking out because I didn't really know what to expect. After I had been in it for about twenty minutes, I started to relax, which made the remaining hour easier. Once I was done, I had to race back to work in time for the afternoon group. Needless to say, it was a busy day and I had an excruciating headache after the test. I'm so happy that it's over with and all I have to do is wait for the results and hope that I never have to do that again.

oh man I remember my MRI and I really don't want to do one again if I have to!!! I could feel my self freaking out the long I stayed in it. so you are lucky you started to calm down. I had to keep my eyes closed and just breath through the loud knocking sounds that seems to last forever! Plus it did not help that there was blood spots on the ceiling of the MRi which is like 3 inches from your face. that was another reason i kept my eyes closed. the person that was just in the mri and left them there. YUCK! sorry did not mean to gross ya out but it is the truth!
Hey Rach, I'm glad that it's over with too. Lets just hope for good results now. Let us know!
