Thanx for responding, Healing. I should've thought of asking you. Did the tech complain when you moved? If I can have brief times when I can move even a tiny bit, it'd be helpful. They've always said not to move at all and I've been embarrassed to ask. I didn't really know why I was having issues before. Didn't even realize I was in constant motion until I was in group therapy and someone got mad b/c I wouldn't sit still. And a couple years later, my dad was watching me nap and when I woke up, he said, "You even twitch in your sleep." When my docs brought up the MRI issue, I just said, "You're gonna have to knock me out for that." They didn't ask why and dropped the issue. I think they may've assumed I was trying to be difficult.

Since my mom died, I don't really have anyone I can ask for help with stuff. I might be able to ask my brother if he knows far enough in advance when he'll be in the area for his job. Hmmm.... Now I'm wondering if there are any volunteers around here who do transports.

Thanx, Healing.... You've given me some hope on this.
