Spike ,'Sleeper'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
That's good on the evaluations! Probably everybody says too much homework.
The other thing with erasing, would be to see if you could structure the lessons where the students are doing something or occupied during the transitions. We spend a lot of time erasing, too. Well, actually we spend a lot of time drawing staves back after having just erased them.
Much ~ma for Fay's little sister! May it be nothing.
Steph, I wish you good luck on tapering off Welbutrin. My anxiety calmed down, and my sleep cycle normalized, and it was just better. I'm not taking anything now (except supplements), haven't been for months, and I'm slowly starting to believe that I might be okay. I hope it all goes as well for you. Good luck with your Aetna woes, too.

My sleep and anxiety are exactly why I'm going off it. At the appointment today, we talked about it, and I decided to just taper off it but not start another AD. Because I can always go back in to the doctor if I need to.
Now if the insurance/IUD problem gets worked out, and the Coffee Laptop starts up, I'll be ahead of the game.
Definitely not enough ativan. The last MRI I had was maybe 15 years ago, and I do not remember it being that loud. I do not handle noise well at all, and extremely loud noise while trapped in a very small space. Not good. I managed to keep it together to just get the MRI done, but I became hysterical after and I can still barely calm down. Thank goodness Mom is here.
I'm supposed to go back in 2 more weeks for another one, and I don't know how I am going to manage it. Not to mention that I am embarrassed to go back there.

I know it doesn't help with the actual anxiety about the procedure itself, but please don't worry about the embarrassment: it's way common for people to get freaked by the noise and claustrophobia (at least according to what I hear from friends in health care), and MRI techs have seen it all as a result.

Can you ask your doctor for a mild sedative to take beforehand?

I know. Mom said the same thing.

I see my PCP tomorrow, so I'll talk to her about it.
There's nothing cheeky about asking for ~ma for wee sister Jay. I would certainly want to sent my best thoughts for her and you. May it be nothing or something easy to deal with.
sj, as amych said, whatever your meltdown was, the techs have seen much, much worse. Can you have headphones or anything to dull the noise? I feel fortunate that my main reactions to the various scans are excruciating boredom and the need to scratch my nose.
sj, last time I had an MRI I was still freaked after 2 ativan. They had to put me in the machine feet-first. Is there an open MRI you can go to.
