MRI, Miracle Worker, and Mr. Football!

Wow...they changed things on blogger.  This will take a bit of getting used to.  I am posting this more for myself but you are welcome to read. I put it on my face book too. .. well, some of it.

I woke up this morning ready to face the MRI.  I tried to not  think about it.  That's how I face things.  Try not to think about it or worry about it. God is in control.  My problem is that I forget and try to take control back all the time. Don't know why that is....I can't be the only one that does this.  Anyway, I get there and have to wait over 30 minutes .... they were running late. Which was good and bad.  She took me back to the trailer.  Got in and they explained the situation to me and how it would work.  I tried so hard not to panic while listening and looking around.  And he asked if I had taken anything....according to my paperwork I was suppose to have a sedative. oops.  I got ear plugs, laid down and she put a blanket on me. Someone advised me to keep my eyes closed so I did.  It was a tight fit!  That was the first shock.  I felt like stuffed sausage!  The thought of not being able to move freaks me out alot. I don't like being pinned down or held down at all. They had my head in traction and cautioned me not to move....as if.
Here is what I posted on Facebook.....

 I wanted to squeeze that red rubber ball and get out more times than you can imagine! But I stuck with it a few more minutes and a few more minutes until it was finally over. My imagination was going crazy....especially after the shot because it burned my arm so bad...I thought I was having an allergic reaction.. some of my thoughts were...."Is the burn going up my arm?" "Am I having trouble breathing?" "I need the bathroom" "My nose itches" "Is that a tear in the corner of my eye?" "Should I peek?" "My strength is in you, Lord", "It's not that loud...sure has a weird rhythm." "My kids and husband are going to be so proud of me if I finish this." "Did I just move?" "Is my mom watching over me?" "All night, all day, angels watching over me my Lord" "Why does everyone act like this is a piece of cake....I hate this." "Am I going to freak myself out?" "Am I alright with the Lord if something happens?" "What would happen if there was an earthquake?", "It is so stuffy in here!".... I mean I could go on and on. I took to counting the seconds, built a house, designed a motor home, and sang to the Lord in my head a lot. I know.....I am crazy! But I am done. I did it.

I even tried to pretend I was in a tanning bed. lol! Well, I am glad that is over and I really never, ever want to do it again.  But I did count on God like I haven't in a while.  God is the strength of my heard!

Anything else going on?  Not really.  Papa is working on the 1000 piece fall jigsaw puzzle we started. He seems to like it. It is pretty relaxing. Lauren tried but she doesn't seem to have the patience.

We watched The Miracle Worker.  What a great movie!!! If you've never seen it before....I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

My favorite part where Anne is trying to teach Helen some manners!

One more thing I want to post....our cute football player...Patrick! He got his dad's jersey number! We are hoping to go soon for a visit and to see one of his games!

Have a great day!
