I was scheduled to have a PET and CT scan and as most of you probably know I'm extremely claustrophobic. I didn't sleep well the night before and was feeling anxious all morning. I spent the hour before we were to go to the doctor reading Scripture and listening to praise music (and I took my 1st Xanax). In Psalm 18 verse 29 it says "...with my God I can scale the wall". Just what I needed to hear! My new mantra in hand, we got to the doctor's office and I told them I was still feeling anxious, so they had me take another pill. Then they injected me with radioactive dye for the test and left me (and Kendall) in a very small, very dark, very cold room (can anyone say claustrophobia). I dozed off and on during that hour and then it was off to the PET scan. Just seeing the machine made my heart beat faster, but I was pretty dopey (more than usual and more than I realized at the time). Scan was going great, but at one point while I was inside and I could tell I was totally in because it was really dark (even with my eyes closed tight)my heart started to beat faster and I could feel the panic rise. I remembered my new mantra and started saying in my mind "with my God I can scale the wall" and as I repeated it, I see me trying to get my fat butt over a wall with God's hand pushing me over, and I started to giggle! Medical magic.
I know that was a long story and it was much funnier when it happened (and on drugs), but thought you might enjoy!
