HI EV1,
5:28 one of my better times. Only 25% higher than average. Hope everyone is well this morning. Winter is back here. Lots of frost on everything. Almost 10 o'clock and very sunny, but still only up to 45 degrees.
Cal sounds like you are in good hands. Your pics clearly show what was needed and what was done. Now to let your poor bones and joints grow back. Plus we still got a report on your friends in the barn. Thanks.
Try to just rest and heal six weeks is a long time , especially in the Spring, but it will pass if we worry or if we don't. So don't.
I am going to meet my nephew and his daughter for lunch today at Midway Oh-Boy. They serve a very special Oh-Boy sandwich.
After lunch we will visit his dad's grave as well as Joan's and their mother's. So this is his grandma, his dad, and his aunt Joan all within a few feet of each other. I think I will bring some flowers for all three.
I will try to focus on music in MRI, and think of our friend JP posts so cheerful and bright, and all of you and our animal cams too. Anything, but the real thing. I will survive, just not sure how well I will do. Claustrophobia has been a problem for me since childhood. My comfort depends a lot on others in the room during the test prep. I have had a variety of experiences in CT and MRI settings. Some were much better than others. One I recall was when just before the test a guy says put your hands above your head so he could tie them to a bar of some kind. I kicked him out of the room. He had heard me tell others in the hall about my phobia, and was not really part of my team. Just injected himself for his own reasons. I think he was in the wrong profession.
Another time the tech told me I would only partially enter the tube for a knee MRI. So I just shut my eyes and tried to relax. My feet went in first and everything was ok until my chin came in contact with the roof of the tube.
Then WHAM! My arms which had been extended above my head came down so fast on the end of the tube I shot out of that tube like a shot out a cannon. He yelled at me that I could break his table or something. I told him that he lied to me and stuffed me in that tube up to my neck. I found out later his girl friend had broke up with him that morning. I finished the test a little later that morning with a different tech.
Well that is enough for now. CUL EV1 GB
