I know that I told some of you that I'd be having an MRI today and then I'd probably know more about the scheduling of my surgery, Well, I went for the MRI. I prepared for the MRI. I got all the way onto the equipment of the MRI, but I couldn't do it. During an MRI several years ago, I realized that I might be a bit claustrophobic in extreme situations. This test is definitely and extreme situation for me. I got through another MRI at that same time only with the aid of drugs. Today, I gave it my best effort, but I began to panic within the first minutes of entering the machine. I felt like I couldn't breathe or move and when the nurses gave me the option to wait for a prescription and a rescheduled date, I took it. I'll give it another try on Wednesday with drugs in hand. A very good friend, who went with me, helped me relax on the drive back. Once again, I'm blessed by the people willing to help.
To Santa, or not to Santa: That is the question.
