Gettin' Ready

First it was getting ready for Leslie R's visit on Friday; then prepping for the cleaning lady who came today; and then getting ready for the MRI tomorrow. All week I've been shoveling a path into the guest bedroom or trying to put stuff away around the house including clean laundry in various stages of dryness and folded'ness. haha

MRI prepping involved a lengthy conversation with my favorite pharmacist, who suggested Ativan for the big scan. My doc is on vacation, but I called the office and another doc prescribed Valium. Kinda scary. Plus getting the timing right is just crucial. It's got to be really working when the MRI starts and it darn well better not wear off before I'm out of there. I had the bring idea of trying one tonight before bed to measure how long before I felt the effects, which will hopefully be about somewhere in the neighborhood of an elephant tranquilizer when it comes to effectiveness. So I looked at the bottle. There is just ONE! Gosh, what if I drop it? Worrying about losing it is enough to make me nervous enough to need it! I've already put it in my purse, so it will not be forgotten. As if I could possibly forget it? I'd be more likely to forget my clothes. Also, I called the Iowa Radiologists and asked how long after I check in will the MRI start. So I have my pill and my pin-point timing down. Oh, maybe I should have synchronized my watch with their clock! It'll be interesting to see if the single Valium makes me even more goofy than I am now.

Tata for now.
