So I had to have an MRI on my arm so they can see what is going on with the tendon. I HATE MRIs - the idea of lying in a noisy, claustrophobic tube fills me with dread ! They put me on my stomach with my arm in basically the most painful position and I had to lie there for 30 minutes. It felt like I was dying and I kept deep breathing and repeating to myself “they’re trying to help you !”... then they made me move my arm and did another bout for c 20 minutes ...but I did it !! Perfect images apparently because I didn’t move ! I’m so proud I’ve bought myself two little salted caramel cheese cakes and I intend to eat both ! At least I’m not guzzling wine as a reward !

The Big Book says: [W]e aren’t a glum lot. If newcomers could see no joy or fun in our existence, they wouldn’t want it. We absolutely insist on enjoying life.

One of the ways I enjoy my life is by rewarding myself with healthy treats when I walk through something unpleasant. Congratulations!

I'm sorry Icandothis, mysterious injuries and illnesses are the worst. I don't tolerate physical pain and discomfort well, so always feel for people going through such things. Hope the docs will have a fuller picture of the problem and will come up with effective (and not too painful) treatment soon. Excellent job dealing with all this sober!

I'm glad you got through that. Salted caramel cheesecake sounds delicious.

Indeed it is, but as it turned out, it’s so sweet I could only manage one ! Probably for the best !

That's impressive ICDT. Feels great when we manage our fear without alcohol. And apparently we get better at it each and every turn.

Congrats on 7 days. These are the days my friend.
