Mixed feelings - where to start?Ugh…back from the 4 hr slog…they gave that poor woman 3…THREE MRI’s today! She told me she had done it but when she got out her hair was a mess and she said, NEVER AGAIN! I think she confused a CT scan w an MRI…I would have said something but she said she’d done it…
We do have an Open MRI but only one serving an area of 375k people. It’s booked out six months. If I ever have to do another..I’ll wait the Six!
Yeah, found out in short order I was claustrophobic! My head entered that bell (I went feet first mind you) and I…well lets just say I undid all the straps and pillow work those nurses did!. I heard the machine whirl up…then it spooled down. Nurse came in and asked if I was going to be her problem child…I managed to get through that but the second one I did, I didn’t have to go in as far and I didn’t wear the headphones they gave me…she said that helps. It sorta-kinda did.
I’ll be calling the Open machine if ever again…
Yes, 3 MRIs back-to-back is a lot! Glad mom managed (this time) and hope she gets some definitive and actionable results this time.

Open MRI - that seems to be the story in any town. If there's one, there's only one and it's booked out farther than a pretty venue for June weddings.
That's one heckuva way to find out! I like they have the headphones now... and a heavy metal music option, too. My preference to begin with but I figure if the magnet's gonna be banging away anyhow...
