Ok so I had to go in this past Monday for an MRI on my back to hopefully find out why Im not getting better after my fall back on March 2. All the x-rays didnt show a thing, he said my alignment was still good, spacing was all good and no fractures. So he sends me for this MRI.
Im extremely claustrophobic, I cant even watch people in a tight space, like contortionists that put themselves inside suitcases or small boxes. Oh and that movie Buried Alive and things like that are impossible for me. You should see me in an elevator LOL
Well they asked me if I was claustrophobic and I was like OH YEAH...so they scheduled an open MRI. So Im thinking this machine will be opened up I wont feel trapped....BULL CRAP!!!!!
Open MRI my big toe...that thing scared me almost worse than a closed one. You are sandwiched between 2 giant pieces of metal, and you really feel like you are in a sandwich (I know how bologna feels now, all that was missing was the cheese). They had this thing strapped around my lower back, and the whole time Im in this thing, all I can think of is how would I get out of here if something happened.
I was in that thing for 50 minutes, barely able to breathe and trying to look around for an escape. And unfortunately, if something had happened I would have been completely trapped...so yeah I hope I never have one of them things again.
And the worst part of it...Im in there because my back is in so much pain I can barely even clean my house or take care of my animals...and they have me laying on my back for 50 minutes on a hard surface...when it was done...I couldnt even move my legs for about 5 minutes, I was stuck there. Then when I did get up, I couldnt walk, it took me 10 minutes to get to my car and it wasnt that far.
They gave me the disc with my MRI pictures and I looked at them here at home, but have no idea what Im looking at LOL
In case the doctor today doesnt give me the disc back, I saved them all to my computer hehee
Anyway, just had to vent about my experience.
Have a wonderful weekend everybody.
