You guys!!! I'm sooo relieved! I found a healthcare clinic/hospital in another suburb that has UPRIGHT STANDING OPEN MRI MACHINES.

YIPEEEEEEE!

You can WATCH TV during this standing/sitting MRI! Woo hoooo!

I emailed my dr. and asked her to write yet another referral to this clinic so that I can schedule a standing open MRI there. You basically stand or sit between the MRI magnets (???) and its much less claustrophobic than the MRI tube or the open MRI where you have to lie down.

Cross your fingers that my dr. will write the referral. Why didn't she tell me about this type of MRI 2 years ago? I'm kind of angry at her now. She's a dr. She should know these things.
