Ruth, I’m terrified of MRIs and being strapped? Oh, dear. Glad you made it out without using the panic button – and so happy that your hubby was there with you for this. What a sweetie.

true it is a big issue thats been around for a while. I am with this organization. take that sledgehammer wherever you go, but when a company is making tata stickers theyr giving proceeds to organizations to help women with the research. stop being so self centered and look at the whole picture, its a strategy of marketing and if people would buy the shirts and stickers then so be it. its not ridiculing anything and would you rather not benefit from the extra money they give to fund extra research..my opinion

Ruth, such a lovely, heartfelt post. And I share your fear of MRIs…This health stuff is for the birds, isn’t it? I hope that all is well with your beautiful brain

Winston Churchill said something to the effect of the victors get to write history.

That’s the real deal. Any 17-year old can gaze deeply into the eyes of another teenager, but that probably won’t be over a clanging piece of medical machinery. They didn’t let my man into the room when I had my post-stroke MRIs, but then again since I’m not claustrophobic, I wasn’t particularly fussed.

Ruth, what a touching post. I’ve had an MRI. Every time the technician said, “Now hold your breath and don’t swallow,” my mouth filled up with saliva. Eventually, I gave up and swallowed anyway, which affected the quality of the scan. What was I supposed to do? Choke to death in a tiny metal tube?

I do think I’m fine. The mri was just to exclude other causes of the tremor. But I do have a bad history with high-tech medical tests and kind of go bananas when I have to get one, as you can see.

Ruth, I don’t know you and came to this piece of writing by way of Roberta Wright’s facebook page, but what a wonderful piece it is. I’ve had that MRI experience, but I think it’s most moving as a small, dear, love story.
