Trying to help delightful stay awake

I'm trying to find out where I can collect my prize!

good luck with that... I'm still waiting

getting ready to go for my monthly trip to Walmart

Rather you than me! Good luck haha

Mentally preparing to go to the neurologist for my head injury.

I'd rather go to Walmart, hihi. I'm nervous as can be. No real reason, but if it's a doctor that's very linear and uncooperative... I don't know her. So yeah, I am nervous as the continuation with council will hinge on it as well...

Hope it all goes well Crystal

OT Trying to stay awake

Just finshed getting ready for work.

Was it good?

Printing labels.

Thank you!
I think it indeed went well!!!

A younger woman, very understanding, knowledgeable concerning head trauma it seemed.
I get to do the NPO (Neuro Psychological Research/Examination) I had wanted with which they can see what your brain can handle. Supposed to be very taxing to undergo, 2 hrs.

And I have to have another MRI done.
She's looking into open MRI near Rotterdam. Otherwise it's either a long drive or the MRI in one hospital that's a bit wider.
It's only 15-20 mins, like last time, but I was chit scared! I opened my eyes... should NOT have done that. I think even a coffin is more spacious...

Anywho, wait and see if there's an open MRI possible in the Rotterdam area. Otherwise I think I will go for the other one that's wider. Maybe put a mask over my eyes...

I’m glad the consultation went well but the MRI sure sounds scary. I hope you get the wider one. Not sure I’d cope too well in such a confined space either. Hope it goes well when the time comes

Thank you, Delightful!
It is really scary indeed, and I'm not even really claustrophobic, hihi.
But I'm thinking... I should be able to do that for 15-20 mins, as long as someone holds my hand like last time. That way I also know someone is IN the room in case I panic or get vertigo from lying flat.
The doctor said I could get a tranquilizer, but I hate those, grin. And then I'd have to go by bus.

Otherwise it's a 2 - 2,5 hrs drive...

Oh well... I think I'm going to be courageous!! I think...

I am claustrophobic so the thought of an MRI scares me. I didn’t used to be but I had a panic attack in my cabin onboard a ship many years ago. The cabin was below the car decks and I felt I couldn’t escape. The thought of being enclosed scares me now. Not sure I’d cope as well as you but I’m sure someone holding your hand would be quite reassuring.

The mistake I made was when the bed had moved fully into the machine. I automatically opened my eyes, which you do I guess to check where you are. The top of the 'coffin' was almost in my face. Maybe it was 10 cms but that's still awfully close, and it looked like less to be honest.
I panicked. I was only in for 2 secs and already pressed the alarm and yelled to take me out.

I swore after that one I'd NEVER do another one. But yeah... I got no choice now. What she needs to see cannot be scanned by CT or CAT apparently.

If you ever need one, ask for a tranquilizer. And take really good ear plugs, not the foam things. The noise is unbelievable!

And feeling you can't escape is what does me in too. I don't like to be in a thick crowd, sometimes I have panic attacks when driving through a tunnel. I sorted that by telling myself it was night time and I was just driving home after a great night out in the pub. Works a treat!
I've been okay in the past on boats, but I always had a cabin with a window and spent lots of time up top. Not sure how I'd handle it now cos of my vertigo.

Anywho... happy I won't have to undergo it today or tomorrow, hihi. And MAYBE I'm lucky and I can get an open MRI in Rotterdam! Fingers crossed.
