MRI

My MRI was set for March 3rd at 10:20 pm. Who knew they were open that late??? A friend who has 2 ci informed me that I might need a interpreter since I couldn't wear my hearing aid during the test. So I posted on Facebook the question if I needed one or not. I doubted it because I've never relied inca interpreter in my life. It felt awkward asking for one. It was 50-50 on whether or not an interpreter was needed. So I decided against having one.

On Sunday night I was very nervous because I've never had an MRI before. I had them explain everything while my aid was still on. The tech I had was awesome she knew basic sign language and looked at me whenever she talked to me. I then went to change into a gown, growing more nervous.

When I walked into the white room with this big machine with a flat bed and over size donut shape around it. She then put ear plugs in my ears,2 padding over my ears and a football face like piece over. She gave me this ball to squeeze if i needed her. And then told me to not move. Anybody who knows me knows I don't sit still very well! :) She then left the room and slides me into the donut hole side. It was so small in there and felt like I was in a casket or something. It was very small. I now understand why they asked if I was castrophobic! I've heard from many people that it was loud.... However, I could just feel the noise. It wasn't loud at all. It was boring in there. In 30 minutes they were finished with my test and I went home. Test result comes back 3/4 business days. :)
