chickwriterNot so much.
The MRI was indeed, WAY better than anticipated, thanks to the open MRI machine. The top piece was mere inches from my nose, but touched no part of my body. There were no sides, so I didn't feel enclosed at all.
Mostly, it was boring, although they did play some nice background music - more of the sounds of nature/flute kind, which really helped. After a while, and I can't say how long I'm shite at time-sense, my shoulder/arm started to hurt because of the position it was in.
Basically, I toughed it out until the end, which was about 30 minutes after we started.
When I got home, I took a painkiller (Ultracet) - which I dislike doing because I tend to sleep poorly and with funky, nearly hallucinogenic dreams.
Last night was no exception. For some reason, I dreamt that I was visiting* the Shrub** and his lady wife, Laura. WHY was my twisted psyche going there? Because really, that's pretty much the last thing I care to do. I woke up this morning with a sense of "WTF was I doing there?"
Maybe when I go see the doc for follow up after the MRI results come back, I can get a different kind of pain pill. I'm seriously not doing that again.
Off to work...
*By "visiting", I mean socially, as if we were friends!! EEP!
** And by "the Shrub", I mean the person that is now in the White House pretending to be President.

Date: 2007-01-16 05:04 pm (UTC)AND I had a bizarre dream last night too! I was searching for huzzlewhat up near the arctic circle, but I was also chauffering one of my company's publicists, and Meloni, and Cate Blanchett in a beautiful dress that was not the one she wore last night, back to below the arctic circle. Yet I had to make room in my car for siliconivy and esmereldachubb and keep an eye out for huzzle who was reported on CNN as crossing some incredibly beautiful, but incredibly dangerous and remote ice bridge.
And somewhere in there David Caruso and an actor that the Dream Me clearly recognized but I can't pinpoint turned down my offer of a ride back to warmer climes, and I was so sure they would change their minds that I took about an hour to walk back to my car, just waiting for them to catch up.
Like I said, Jesus Christ! ;-)
