Mri

Ok so today is the day..I have to have a brain MRI done this afternoon and I'm not at all ready. I'm ready to know why I have been feeling this way for so long but the test scares me to death. It may seem a little strange but I'm more worried about the actual test than the results. I'm so claustrophobic and the thought of laying still in a machine all around me making noise for so long just freaks me out to say the least. The doctor has given me medicine to help relax me, but I've never taken this so not sure how its gonna affect me. If you know me then you know I can't take medicine very well.
Tylenol PM or benadryl KNOCKS me out cold!
So in a way I'm hoping this does so I don't even know whats going on during the test but then there is my other problem.
MY KIDS!
Derick is gonna have Grace and Callee at softball practice. So they will be fine. Mom is going with me and she will be watching Hynlee.
My problem is IF the medicine knocks me out..how long will I be out of it? My test isn't until 5 this afternoon and it's gonna take 45 minutes IF it all goes good. Depending on how many times I hit the button and FREAK OUT!
So if the test starts at 5 then the earliest we will be done will probably be 6. Which means dinner at our house. So if I'm still drunk then what are my kids gonna think of Mommy sleeping all afternoon and night. I have tried to explain this to Grace and Callee. But who knows how much they really understand.
Then the BIG problem is Hynlee! She still nurses a few times during the night... I know she doesn't need too..But she does! I can't nurse with this medicine so she is gonna have to take a bottle or cup. Which is most likely not gonna happen. She is spoiled very bad to me during the night so not sure how much sleep the family is gonna get tonight. So please say a little prayer for me and my family today!
