OK - so tell me all you wise ones..... WHO was the screwed up person who developed the MRI machine????  That is a torture tunnel - you sure have to keep your eyes closed otherwise looking at the steel plate surrounding you about an inch and a half away from your face sure can precipitate a panic attack&#33;  They even make coffins/caskets with more clearance between the nose and the lid... and the occupants couldn&#39;t care less  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":tongue:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Go Figure&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Anyhow after 20 hours, I mean minutes, in the torture tunnel the tech told me that I need to see my Dr. early next week for the results.... sheesh now I have to wait for another 5-6 days before getting the results.<br /><br />Ed, after all the &quot;coffee&quot; talk here, I decided to forego my Dunkin Donuts coffee and pulled into the Mickey D&#39;s Drive Thru... I have decided that I really prefer McDonald&#39;s coffee.  Of course it would have tasted even better this morning if it had been laced with something.<br /><br />Debbie, don&#39;t wait too long girl, go back to the Dr with that hand - take care of yourself.<br /><br />James, Congratulations on your next cruise - now that&#39;s a great reward for getting a decent tax return&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl, so glad that Wayne is out of hospital and that they have &quot;answers&quot; for his condition... gosh you guys have really been through so much stress lately.<br /><br />I think I have found someone to come and stay at our home and take care of Gucci, for the 8 days we&#39;ll be away at the end of next month.  I ran into an old church friend, she&#39;s single and would like a break and has had 2 little Lhaso Apso&#39;s before.  So hopefully this plan comes together.  Our next hurdle is the 6 WEEKS that we&#39;ll be away in South Africa.  This is just way too long of a time to board her in a doggie boarding facility if we can possibly help it.  One of the guys I work with and his wife house and dog sit, so we are going to visit with them on Sunday (with Gucci) to see if they will be a possibility.<br /><br />Well it&#39;s Survivor tonight......
