- She said this will take 45 minutes, can I sit still that long?
- Here we go, stay really still.
- My eye is itchy.
- K don’t move.
- Breathe in and out…but don’t move.
- Why is it so cold in here?
- This is almost like being locked up in a casket!
- That was a horrible comparison. Change the subject.
- K I can do this.
- Oh she just talked to me, the next one is 2 minutes.
- K so that means it’s been like 3 minutes so far, almost done.
- I can’t wait to send a picture of the hospital clothes to my friends.
- Was I supposed to tie the gown in the front?
- No, that would make no sense.
- Next round is 3 minutes and she said the machine might move…what does that mean?
- Oh. Kinda like a massage chair!
- Ughgh maybe not.
- So I’m like 8 minutes in by now??
- Oooh this one sounds like a song I’ve heard at the club!
- Dun dun dush dun dun dush dun dun dush.
- Dun dun dush dush dun dush…wait no, that’s not how it goes?
- Are we done yet?
- My eye is itchy.
- I want to move my legs, maybe I’ll try when she talks next.
- My head…I need to scratch it. Maybe I caught lice from the blanket she put on me.
- Don’t move.
- I wonder if when I swallow it messes anything up.
- I wonder if they can see what I'm thinking of.
- My eye is itchy.
- Oh she’s taking me out! Time for the dye!
- I can move a little!
- Nope, she told me to stay extremely still.
- I hate needles.
- Needle in left arm didn’t hit the vein properly - fuck.
- Now she’s in my right arm.
- Fuck needles.
- Staying still.
- Why does my arm feel cold?
- Back in the tube. I can do this! She said two more scans!
- Maybe I can fall asleep.
- Nope.
- What if I have to go pee?
- What if I accidentally squeeze the alarm button?
- Omg I should get ice cream after this, I deserve it!
- It’s like -20C out and there’s a foot of snow, ice cream is a bad idea.
- Where did I park again?
- I hope I don't get lost getting out of here.
- How much longer?
- I think I have to pee soon.
- My arm hurts.
- Oh I think it's done!
- Don’t move just in case.
- Smile at the nurse, pretend like you’re fine.
- Whoa this is a completely different nurse.
- I'm so confused.
- Crap, my arm is bleeding.
- I wanna pass out.
- I should ask for bandaids…for BOTH of my arms.
- Ugh I can’t believe I have holes in both arms.
- Don't fall down.
- Yay I’m free!!
- These pants are kinda comfy, I wonder if I can keep them….
I'm thinking I'll give the MS clinic a call next week to find out if they'll book an appointment to go over my results. And hopefully by the weekend I'll write a real post on an update! So much has happened since my last post!!
What do you usually think of while getting an MRI? Do you fall asleep? Do you hate them the entire time?
