Leaving for Comic Con
Journal Entry: Wed Jul 23, 2008, 1:45 PM
Hey, there! In a few minutes, I'll be leaving to drive down to San Diego to begin this year's Comic Con! I'm excited as always and I hope I don't forget anything! Talk to you all later!
Comic Con starts tomorrow, and I'm more stressed out and snappy than ever. I'm going over what I'm bringing, what I'm wearing, that sort of thing. This is the last day to really go through my stuff and pack it all up. In other words, I want to sleep good tonight, though I probably won't.
So, , are we still meeting up? I won't bite...hard.
3:00-4:00 SCI FI: Ghost Hunters Is it in your heador in your house? Find out during Comic-Con first ever panel discussion with Ghost HuntersJason Hawes and Grant Wilson, stars of the #1 paranormal reality series on Wednesday nights. What youll hear is realand scary. Moderated by James Hibberd (The Hollywood Reporter). Room 6B
This is Friday's schedule, by the way. I was going to catch the Ghostbusters video game panel before that time slot in the same room, anyway! Now, I have an excuse to stay longer! I SO want to meet Jay and Grant! *squeeee*
I had my MRI at around 11 a.m. Wednesday morning and it was one of the most weirdest procedures I've ever done. I came in, was asked to remove my shirt and bra, and put on this wrap-around dressing gown. I was given a key to lock my clothes and purse up in a locker. No jewelry can be worn. I was then led into this room with a huge tube-like machine and a cushioned flat board sticking out of it. The key had a stretchable curly cord for my wrist, but I had to place it on the chair next to the door. It couldn't be worn while I'm inside the tube. The doctor had me lie on my back on the flat board and place my neck within a plastic cradle so that I couldn't move. She then secured a strap over my forehead for even less movement of my neck or head. She briefly explained what I would experience before handing me a set of ear plugs. Thank goodness. It gets real loud inside with numerous banging and the sounds as if someone is using a jack hammer. I placed my hands on my stomach and felt the board lift and slide into the tube where my eyes met inches from the ceiling. Ugh, I can see where claustrophobic people have a hard time staying in this thing. Sedatives are an option, but I was fine. I had my eyes closed most of the time and felt no pain at all throughout the procedure. I tensed up now and then, but remained perfectly still.
Went to work just fine at 3 and will get the test results on Friday at my next follow-up visit. Oh, and that new guy at the Physical Therapy better go easy on me on Friday. I'm STILL hurting since Monday!
