Hi cuties, I am looking for your prayers again & hope that you don't mind me asking for them. It's that time of year again when I go to the hospital for my anual MRI. I had an appointment to go at the end of the month but had a call on the weekend changing my appointment & asking me to come in earlier? Not really sure why but when I asked she was very casual & said she had a cancelation & thought I might like to come in earlier? I am always so nervous having this done & have to be medicated to go into the chamber due to my claustrophobia, it usually takes them just over an hour & I have to have the dye injection as well. I am so nervous because they told me I could get another one within 5 years & this is year 3.............

When is your appointment? It will probably take a little bit to get the results. I hate worrying.

Sounds to me as if you are worrying too much. As you had an appointment for the end of the month, you were lucky enough to get bumped up when there was a cancellation. Take it that way and don't worry! It's going to be a good one!

I am sending prayers up for you. Don't be worried about going in early for this appointment, it was just a cancellation & you get to have yours a bit earlier to put yourself at rest from waiting for it for longer. Good luck.

Dear Loralye, prayers will be said for you for tomorrow (it's Monday here already), but still Sunday in America. I know how you feel as Mum doesn't like going into the chamber either due to her fear of the noises the machine makes. She said she'll have to be knocked out before she does it again, he he he! I agree with others I'm sure it's just they did have a cancellation and also to see how well you've done in this past year - you are a walking advertisement for improved brain injury. You rock girl, go with faith and a song in your heart (even though you're not allowed to have an ipad or music with you) it's still there in your head. Think of some meaningful hymns to keep you occupied. Love and all the blessing in the world to you, love Chris

You have my prayers too Loralye! Do it and get it over with to set your mind at ease. Think about what sewing project you need to do next, it will be smooth sailing! Reward yourself with that next piece of fabric you had your eye on and put it off. Happy thoughts my friend! Hugs! Sharon

thank you so very much for sharing this with, I believe prayers got me through the brain surgery the first time & I would be lost without them. The power of prayer is awe inspiring. hugs to you

Will they allow you to take in some music or audio book to listen too, even though you are sedated? It might help to occupy your mind and not concentrate on the silly machine noises. Hope they give you a pillow and a blankie and allow you to take a nap.
Prayers for you.
Not being a 'smart Alec' here but where I come from 3 falls within 5...besides they just want to look at your pictures, cause they are tired of looking at SICK people! Hope this at least gives you a tiny smile.

before the brain surgery I could listen to a cd but since then for some reason I am not allowed to hear it. This is the halfway mark so I appreciate the prayers. hugs & welcome Leaha to our cute family it is lovely to have you

Lor, never apologize for asking for prayers. That is the reason some of us were brought here. That is the reason some of us have stayed here, and that is the reason that some of us are still alive today. Because of prayers. I will be most honored to pray for you and for a celebratory outcome! Remember Joseph in the Bible when his brothers realized the error of their ways in selling him into slavery, he told them not to apologize, that God had used this in a way that could not have come about by any other means. Let Him use this.

Prayers coming your way. My thought is that the reason they may have called you to come in early is they probably know that you are anxious about the problem and figured since they had a cancellation why make you wait to the end of the month and worry about it for another 2 weeks.

If you have not had recent tests etc. The hospital would have no dire reason to move the appointment. I would take it that they really did have a cancellation or your/the doctor will be on vacation...

I have I have CAT scans every few months for oral cancer so I understand your fears.

If they had you scheduled for the end of the month, that means that they had you scheduled for 3 years out all along. Maybe it's a clerical error. Praying for peace and great health, Joan
