14 - Do Not Like Being Still

I like to keep moving.  I'm not even good at lingering in relaxed settings, like a spa. So when I learned my MRI would be 45 minutes, I tried not to panic. On my stomach, arms over head... squeeze bulb in hand if I needed help.  How is this possible?

But I made it though!  The medley of jolting sounds almost amused me.  The machine gun sounds put me in the scene of a movie. I tried to make up a song to the techno beat that intruded for a while.  The rumbling rhythm reminded me of those stupid "Magic Fingers" that vibrated motel beds in the 1960's... and it soothed just about as poorly.  Best of all, I kept from squeezing the bulb. I didn't want to risk having to start over!
