Major prayers! Close your eyes and picture cuddly times with your kitties...furry meditation!
Are you allowed to wear foam earplugs? I hear the machines can be a bit noisy, depending on what you consider 'noise'.

I don't want to freak you out or cause you anymore stress...but this is what worked for me...maybe it will help you also?
I am also extremely claustrophobic...and when I did the open MRI because I went bonkers even sedated at the closed one...they let my husband come in and hold my hand and then my foot when the top part of me went in...and he read me books and sang to me and it helped a lot! Do you have anyone who could do that for you...sorry if that a rude question...but I'm new and thought you could ask if someone was willing and if the doctors would let you...mine didn't want to at first but even sedated I had a bad time of it and was shaking so bad they couldn't get a good read. So, maybe it would work for you??? Good luck and I am sending good thoughts and prayers for you.

Thanks everyone...I made it through! I was at the Mayo Hospital and they treated me like gold. Even with the meds I was shaking like I was freezing. She came over and placed a wash cloth over my face and proceeded to hook me up. I had what they call an MRCP which is for the pancreas, bile duct, etc. Once in the machine I calmed down. I couldn't see what was happening and they put earphones with music playing. She would then talk to me telling me when to breath and when to hold it. It took around 40 minutes so now the wait is for the results! Thanks for replying and thinking of me.
BTW we released the 2 trapped cats happily running back to their environment. They came for their dinner last night so they're doing well!
Thank goodness this part is over!!
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
