Blues and Greens

I just wanted to let everyone know that I survived the MRI (which of course, everyone knew I would). Thanks for all the helpful hints and tips. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who gets nervous about such a silly little thing. I got enough anti-anxiety drugs to make me sleep all day long yesterday, and all night. And, J should get boyfriend of the year award for standing up and massaging my feet through the entire hour long test which is what really seemed to help the most. Now, onto funner and fiberier things. The basket of handspun above is what I've worked on so far the month of February, blues and greens. My favorites.

Valium Anyone?

I've had migraines for pretty much as long as I can remember, only this winter they've exploded and I feel like I've basically had a headache every damn day. I've finally caved and restarted my migraine meds that I've been on in the past which make me pretty much so stupid that I can't knit anything but 2x2 rib. This means that I will be doing a lot of spinning, but whatever... I have a lot of fiber I need to use up. Anyway, today I went in for an MRI just to make sure there's nothing serious going on (I highly doubt it, but I have super good insurance so I might as well use it). I spent about 30 seconds with my head in the machine before I completely freaked out- I'm definitely claustrophobic. So, I rescheduled and opted for oral sedation, only now, thinking about the utter panic I felt in that 30 seconds I'm wondering if a valium is going to do it for me. I mean, I've gotten to watch several people undergo MRI's (I get to monitor patients down routinely as part of my job) and they seem to tolerate it without any problems, so logically I know it's no problem, but I definitely want no part of it- my hands are starting to sweat just thinking about it. Gah.
