Rachel Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Well, my 3 month check up is coming up on June 17. Schedueled for a Head MRI & Chest CT. My husband will be out on the tugboat in Northern Alaska & I know this will be so difficult for him to receive the delayed results. Plus I am of course very nervous as you all know how it is before tests. Thank goodness for a strong circle of griends up here & of course all of you on this board. Thank you for all your support.

JoniRobertWilson Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Good luck with your check up and try not to worry. I bet all will be fine! Quote
Snowflake Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Rachel, Prior to my MRI last month, my general practioner wrote me a prescription for one tiny pill - 10 mg of Valium. I took it an hour before the MRI and life was "GOOD"! Someone was feeling stuff like fear and claustrophobia, but it wasn't me... I've decided after that POSITIVE experience to pop a Xanax prior to my CTs in the future (I HATE needles...a lot...and the CT techs SUCK at finding my chicken-hearted veins....not a pleasant trip...). Anxiety...fear...yep, I hear ya. Try to distract yourself from the thoughts of what could be and the "What If" chorus in your head... Flea markets, hobbies, reading, gardening...make sure you're tired when you go to bed... Here's hoping your results are clear! Becky Quote

luvmydog2 Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 I pray for EVERY member here daily. For the ones that I see going through hard times I pray for by name. That is one reason I check the board 3-4 times daily. I am sure you will be fine. Snowflake had some good advice too. Stay busy to get it off your mind. Get tired before you go to bed...you will sleep better. Also do this a lot... God Bless. Quote
mhutch1366 Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Rachel, Prayers for a great set of scans, and enough pleasant distractions to keep you occupied until then. Perhaps there's someone you could phone with a marine radio who could get good news to hubby in a timely fashion? XOXOXOX Always, prayers. MaryAnn Quote
