My time in the tube
What an interesting morning!
When I got up, there was a light snow on the ground that was fairly crispy on top because of the cold. The sun was coming up and the sky was a brillant blue...not a bad start to the day, but I am looking forward to Spring.
Then I remembered...today was my MRI.
Now one of my friends who is claustrophobic going through the tunnel up Provo canyon recently had an MRI and I worked hard to help alleve his claustrophobic fears...things like "I hope the power doesn't go out while you're in there" and "have you watched the scene in 'The Incredibles' where they try to stuff him into the tube?" and items on that nature. Well, being my supportive friend, he assured me my feet wouldn't fit in the tube and I'd probably get stuck on the way out!
Unfortunately for him, I enjoyed my time in the tube! My cell phone was locked safely away where it couldn't annoy me, my computer was locked in the same closet. I couldn't hear a thing with the ear plugs in and the machine whirring and whining around me. I laid there in my drawers and johnny with a blanket pulled up snug around me wondering why they bothered to tell me not to move when there obviously isn't any room in the tube to move and had 20 minutes of peace and relaxation.
It was like an enforced mini-vacation!
