I'm not claustrophobic at all, so MRIs never bug me. When I was a kid I'd crawl into a sleeping bag head-first and try to turn around while inside so I could come out head-first too. I'd usually get stuck for a bit, but that was part of the fun.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hooray for benignity and Diana Krall and Ativan!
Good luck, tommyrot! Sounds promising.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
To be clear, I don't know yet that it's benign; last week's CT scan is what brought the nodule to my doctor's attention, but she told me that 99.5% of all adrenal nodules are benign weirdoes that are the equivalent of a polyp on the colon. But my doctor wanted me to have an MRI to be 100% sure it's just a benign weirdo.
So the MRI was for confirmation, but I haven't gotten the results back yet. I'm just assuming everything is cool in Adrenal Town.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It would be open MRI or nothing, I think.
Or drugs! Drugs are an option. Though probably an open MRI is better, if it will serve the purpose, but when I tried to direct the doctor toward an open MRI for my back, he really preferred the traditional one. So I got myself sedated good.

And a -ma request, because Husband is at his third interview for a job he'd really like (the job that brought us to Dallas having turned out...not super). So if you guys could vibe him to success, that would be great.

Nyx BB cream or Gotcha Covered concealer. NYX is one of the best drugstore brands out there, and their quality is on par with or better than MAC.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm rather claustrophobic* but MRIs don't bother me. At least the one I had done didn't. It was open at head and feet, is that an "open" MRI?
'*(which I discovered while caving, crawling in a narrow tunnel under an obviously suspended giant rock, not the best moment)** (I made it out without serious incident thank the asthma med gods)
'**when did I become the adventurous one who will do honestly anything that doesn't look immediately deadly? (as long as it doesn't involve water. I don't swim) this is not how I think of myself

No, an open MRI is also open at the side.
