I wish you luck I stress about appointments too. I try to just say to myself "it will go bad or it will go well, but worrying about it isn't going to influence the outcome" easier said than done, I know, but it helps a little - that and lots of distraction.

I was supposed to have an MRI in 2020, I used covid as an excuse to cancel. And then I kept cancelling all the rescheduled appointments. I am so claustrophobic, that I could not sleep in the weeks leading up to the appointment. The only way I could sleep is if I would cancel I think if they'd notified me with a phone call saying " you're appointment is tomorrow" I'd go through with it, but it doesn't work that way, the notifications go out months or weeks in advance. My last cancellation I just told them to stop rescheduling and I never did have that MRI


Thank goodness other appointment do not involve laying in a narrow tube, and and I can muster the courage to attend

I hope all goes well for you on Friday, Deilla. I tell you the story of my MRI freakout, in hopes that it makes you feel if not less anxious, but less down on yourself for feel anxious .

Thanks for this!
