MRI

I had an MRI today. It was actually in a room and not a mobile unit (semi truck trailer) like the last time. Ha ha! As I was lying on the table having the catheter for the contrast dye put into my arm, I looked out through the skylight and...gasp!...I could see a huge construction crane. As if the entire thing wasn't already causing anxiety...now, there was a crane that could topple at any moment and kill me! I had to go into the machine on my stomach so at least I couldn't see the walls closing in on me. They provided headphones and music but really, there's no point because the incessant jackhammer noises don't stop for more than a few seconds. The MRI took about 20 minutes and it wasn't too bad. Next time I'll take the earplugs instead of music though...
