Pictures of my brain

This afternoon at 5:30 I'm scheduled to have an MRI done. Because of the TN, they want to check my brain for tumors and M.S., both of which might conceivably be causes. I don’t have other symptoms of M.S. or of tumors, so I'm not terribly concerned about them. But ….

I am nervous about it.

What if they discover I don’t have a brain?

No, that isn’t really my concern. It was (supposedly) a joke.

I don’t know what my concern is. I just get nervous any time I have medical procedures done. God only knows what they might find. OK, I guess I do have some concerns about tumors and M.S. Or who knows what else might be there. I might be a mush brain. (Another attempt at humor.)

I'm also usually a bit intimidated by the unknown. And this is definitely the unknown for me.

Is this one of those procedures where they run me into a tube? I'm a bit claustrophobic. That’s a little anxiety provoking.

Breathe, Michael.

And if you’d all hold me in your prayers and positive thoughts between 5:30 and 6:30 MST, I’d appreciate it.

Namaste,
Michael
