MRI

Well, I had my MRI today. It was scheduled for 10:30. I got there at 10:15 as I was told so that I could fill out all my paperwork. I took my Xanax then. Weeeeelllll... They came back there around 11 0'clock and told me that they were at least an hour behind so that if I wanted to leave and have lunch, I could. So I did and came back at 12. I actually got back to the MRI aroun 12:30. By then (and after sitting in the car with the heated seats on), I WAS SOOOOO SLEEPY. I laid down on the table thing and he put me in the tube. I immediately had to have him pull me back out. I couldn't take it. I lay there for a few minutes and took a lot of deep breathes. I was finally as ready as I was ever gonna be. So he put me back in. He told me to just think of being on the beach. Well, I was planning my flagstone patio and flower garden! LOL! But the memory of the CSI guy getting buried alive kept sneaking in there! It took about 20 - 30 minutes, but I made it. He had to help me get off the table and it took a couple of minutes for me to be able to stand, but I made it. Boy, was I ever loopy!!!

I decided that I was in no shape to go back to work. Between the pain and being loopy, I just needed to go home. I got to Southside and I decided that I really didn't need to drive just yet so I stoped at Lowe's and walked around in the Garden Center. It was so hot and humid that I think it helped to clear my head - a little. I was still worried and was gonna have the kids come get me, but they weren't home - are they ever?!?!? Any way, I called mother and I talked to her until I turned at Jacks Creek. I got home and went straight to bed.

I got up around 7:30 or 8 I guess. She and daddy had gone to Lowe's and got some top soil for the new flower bed. They came over and put that out and helped me pot some flowers that I got today for $4.

So, I'm about to call it a night again. If my shoulder wakes me up again like it did last night (and keeps me - and YOU - up all night), I don't know what I will do.

Well, darlin, good night! I hope you're doing OK. I sure do love you and I sure do miss you!!!!
