Tunnel Terror

Sparky: Early Friday morning (when I say early I mean EARLY) mommy had to go to Bethesda for her MRI. It was quite an ordeal. Mommy anxiously has been awaiting her 12:30 AM appt... NOT. Not only did mommy have to stay up late but as many of you know she is scared of small spaces AKA claustrophobic. Our mother has only had 1 other MRI & she was on the verge of flipping out after 30 minutes. Thankfully that was the exact amount of time it took to complete the 1st MRI. Mommy said she should have known it was going to be a rough night when a lady started complaining that she hadn't been taken back for her appt when the technician called mommy back. Apparently this lady was a little off her rocker & continued to make a scene after mommy's MRI was started. Due to this crazy women mommy got left in the MRI machine while this woman was dealt with. Mommy, of course was unaware, started to flip out. She didn't know that she couldn't be heard & she started yelling for help to get out when she was having heart palpitations & difficulty breathing. She finally scooted herself out of the machine then started to sob & hyperventilate. All of the technicians came running in shortly after this. They were extremely apologetic & helped mommy calm down. Of course they wanted to give mommy medicine to help her calm down but she still had to drive home. After this living nightmare mommy had to go back in the MRI machine for 1 final test with contrast. The techs talked to mommy through a speaker for the duration it, so she was able to make it through. Mommy finally started to drive home around 2:45 am. Needless to say mommy, Robert & I spent the rest of the day just hanging out & being lazy. As a follow up to mommy's experience she now has laryngitis & sounds like a prepubescent boy:-{
