Confined, Small, Coffin-like Spaces

This morning came a little early for me. I hate when I wake up needing to pee and I figure it's pretty close to time for the alarm to go off so I don't go then, an hour later, I am waiting for the alarm to go off so I can pee! Ya feel me?

My MRI was this morning. I had one done some ten years ago and I remember that I didn't feel very well for the next three days. Something about being shoved in a tube that has about 6-8 inches of space between it and you. Not to mention the LOUD banging noises it makes. So, coming to my mind is being buried alive in a casket under a concrete slab and hearing the jackhammers and other things that people are using to try and get me out. Then nearly 40 minutes after I entered the instrument she announces she is going to give me an injection and then take two more scans. Injection?? Since when did we inject dye for MRI's?? Guess I have been out of the loop on that one. I have yet to research it. So, when I was trying to get off of the table I had to have help just to sit up due to my back/hip. I didn't even have what it took to roll to the side first (like I have to in the mornings just to get to my clock). So help me if they say they don't see anything I just may go insane. Hopefully I will hear results within the next two days. My doc doesn't see patients on Tuesdays but maybe he takes care of stuff like results. I am going to have a hard time being patient.
Enough about that.

After laying in this casket feeling contraption for an hour I made it to work. It was unusually very calm. I will eat my words come tomorrow since we are at satellite and will be seeing 28 patients in just the a.m. Gonna be one of those days I suspect. Right now I am just so sleepy I am ready to go to bed. But, I want to read!!!! Waaaaaah! I love reading my books in bed. The only problem is that I get so sleepy I will sit there and read until I physically can not keep my eyes open. So, it is only 8:33 and I am getting ready to go in there and start reading so I can get to sleep a little early. I have to be at work by 6:45 in the morning so I want to make sure I don't stay up until 11:00 reading. Not that I wouldn't make it to work even if I did. I am just too darn dependable and responsible! Make you gals laugh?

Ok, ready to here what the hubby says when I announce I am turning in at such a young hour? Me too!
