I think I'm depressed.
The toll that this wreck has had on me is overwhelming. My whole body hurts, the kind of hurt that medicine doesn't help, heating pads don't work, I can't even sleep ( which at least I would not be focused on how bad it hurts). Speaking of sleep, the most I've had in 5 days is about 4 hours. I really am fatigued.
I had three MRI's today. One was for my foot, which I have been told it was just a bad sprain, even though I could swear to you it is broken. the next was on my cervical spine. The last was my brain.
I have had an MRI before, for sinus surgery. It was a few years back. I don't recall having any real issue with it. However, today was a totally different experience. When I was place into the machine, head first with my neck immobilized, I began to panic.
You see, I am claustrophobic. It took two tries before they could get me in there and even then I hit the panic button three times more.
Now that it is over, I feel foolish about it. But the anxiety was real while I was going through the tests.
I'll speak to my family doctor on Monday and the orthopedic will see me Tuesday morning. I sure pray they can give me treatment to correct whatever is found.
