Felt terribly depressed today, especially at the last half of the day. I started to feel really bad around 11 AM today. Just got a little bit of a relief when at work they served a turkey lunch. It was very good. After that I felt really bad. That was because I had an MRI scheduled at 5 PM.

I went to the MRI and chickened out. It was because I would have been in a tube that was very narrow. I am claustrophobic. I asked someone about the procedure ahead of time and I was told that it would be alright because it would only be my lower body that would be examined. When I got there I was told that my whole body would be in the tube. The "ceiling" part of it would be less an a quarter inch from my nose. I went through a procedure like that before and thought that I was going to die of a heart attack because I was claustrophobic, and was not told about that ahead of time. I didn't want to go through something like that again. I just felt terrible after that.

I got an email from a distant friend. It didn't seem very favorable to me for many reasons. So that's another disappointment.
