Mri Terror

MRI terror overwhelmed Magnetic blanket weight Heavy pressing down crushing air Compressed can't breath can't do Changed blanket lighter one helped Closed eyes, plugged ears, go Woody The Woodpecker turned loose Clanging aluminum

Hi Sara I still find your poem incredible athough I put a different slant on its meaning based on my own experience now in England.I always enter a magnetic tube but it feels just as you have decribed and that makes it very apt for me.But next time I go in I'm going to visualise your woodpecker and have a laugh as well -so thank you you have helped me.Take care.Luv June(Sylvia)

HI Sara.I love the way you have described in such a poetic way as those who know would understand, an awful experience, especially that suffocating feeling of claustrophobia and the deafening noise.To make the blanket even lighter you could try wearing headphones and focusing on some music.I hope your ok. Thank you for your comments for me. Luv June(call me this)

this reminds me of the pigeon that flew up on my dads roof and got its tail stuck somewhere while it was on top, and now its not able to fly, its just stuck there.its getting skinny and everything.im not a fan of "pigeons". .but its pretty sad, looks kind of gross though. ~Always&Forever Lynette

Hi Sara, the experience you underwent having an MRI is one that really moves me, your vivid discription of what you were feeling jumps right out of the page at me. The line that really hits me hard is " Compressed can't breath can't do." thank you so much for sharing, lov carolann
