Thank you Matt! Iāve never had an MRI before so Iām a little nervous and a lot claustrophobic. Iām hoping it goes well lol

Only your leg will go inside the MRI - you shouldnāt feel claustrophobic at all.
Just need to lay still for 20-30 mins depending on the images they want. Most will even put music through the headphones for youā¦ Which help a little as those MRIās are loud!

I feel that in my soulā¦I went out with friends last week while on vacation and I kept saying see I am just as much fun sober too. I laughed, dances, the bartenders kept bringing me snacks and kept my soda full.

Oh man. 
Sorry Lea. I hope itās not too painful. And I hope the MRI gives you the results you want.
And what @AyBee said about music.
They let me bring my ear buds and phone in for my 2 procedures. Donāt know about an MRI. But soothing meditation or music while your waiting can be comforting.

Look at you with ten months AF baby sitting a swimming pool without alcohol. It really is freeing.
So happy for you Kait.

They likely wonāt let you bring your own earphones in as they will get a little funky with the super strong magnets of the MRI.
Because the machine is so loud they give you ear protection and can pipe music/radio through that - but you donāt get much choice in music style. It helps as a distraction but you can still hear the MRI pretty darn good - those bad boyās are LOUD (though a little better than they used to be)

I guess it could be useful here during the really warm summer days. Those are rare though, and most houses here doesnāt have AC. We just open the windows
The MRI machine makes a lot of noise, rumbling and grinding as it rotates. I actually drifted off, I find that kind of ocean type sound to be good for meditation and dozing. Whatever news you get, you will be able to adapt and you will be able to stay sober.

It isnāt bad as I thought it would be. And my favorite partā¦ waking up with no regretsā¦ no worries about saying or doing something stupid. And just having clear memories of all of the good things! I literally just had the best weekend and Iām never going back to my old ways! Keep up the great work gf. Letās live our best life!!

I hope you get good news. Like @AyBee said only your leg will go into the machine. I find the humming noise to be somewhat relaxing, it is loud.

Hope you heal quickly! Iāve had 3 mris. 2 on the lower body and while itās loud and noisey itās not near as bad as upper body scan. Your head will be out of the tunnel. That helped me a lot. Good luck!
