cool MRI

Glad that this went well for you, if somewhat noisily, Candace.. and we're all hoping for good results.

I had several last year - and one more to come the end of August. I've been to 2 different places, and one of them is fantastic. The opening is much larger, so you don't get the closed in feeling. They tell you to bring your favorite CD - and I did hear the music. Made a huge difference. Plus the pad on the stretcher was much more comfortable - really a God-send when you don't have much padding of your own at the bottom of your spine.

Fortunately my up-coming MRI will be done there

K9Karen - actually, I think a coffin is roomier! But yeah, psyching is the way to go...I started off with the Serenity Prayer (inside voice lol) and paid attention to my breathing, focusing on the feeling of the air in my throat.

Grace, good luck with your upcoming MRI. It must be a newer machine. They are frightfully expensive; I suppose that's why all of them are not new ones.
