MRI done! Boring and loud, but not too bad other than the part where the second they tell you that you can't move 8 million itches you must scratch now suddenly appear. Pelvic was supposed to be later today, but I started my period this morning (and hello, hormones are probably not helping the panic levels), so I think they can't do that? I'm showing up for the appointment anyway to beg the Xanax prescription.
This morning's thought pondering are on prayer. Specifically that people have asked if I mind if they pray for me. Not only don't I mind, I really appreciate it. Which may sound weird coming from an atheist, but it's true. People telling me I need to find God or trust in God or put it in God's hands...that irritates the hell out of me. No I don't, and no I'm not. But someone who is religious pulling for me in a way that is meaningful to them? That's a bit of an honor, really. To me it says that someone cares enough to turn to deeply held beliefs and rituals on my behalf, and that's powerful. It can't hurt to have someone wish the best for you in the strongest way they know how, if for no other reason than I carry the knowledge that they do care that much, and that's a benefit all on it's own. And one I'm thankful for.
