Since it was asked (very perceptive, Bionika!) - yes, I have had MRIs. Have lost count of how many. Probably close to a dozen...and my doctors do not have the newer, 'open MRI' machine, so my experiences were something I could draw on for Jaime. They tell you not to open your eyes; in fact, they offer to cover them for you...but I'm not claustrophobic and was sure it wouldn't bother me. (Also fully intended to keep my eyes closed.) But temptation and curiosity got the better of me...and I looked. That thing is so close that it looks like it's touching your nose! I didn't use this part for Jaime, but I laid in there for the remainder of the first test wondering how many people had suffocated to death in that machine! I've also been able to use real-life experience with PTSD for Steve and Jaime. Mine is nowhere near as severe, but let's say I have a personal consultant. I wrote most of Cobra without asking his help - or even telling him about it - and did online research instead when I needed to. But asked for his opinion a couple of times in the stories that followed Cobra...and he was impressed. Said I did it right. That made me happy! Then I told him the doctor I semi-modeled on him got shot in the ankle.

Thank Beth to have raise the subject of real life in our stories. I think that in this new year, I will post a lot in because when you were far from the site due to your health problems I had the idea of beginning a thread like this "stories of the stories, the part of our life in them."..but never did it. Of course, I'm not bionic and I'm not working for US Government, and not living in 70's but many little details of my stories refers to my real life or experiments. I hope that it will interestiing for our readers to discover them and other details (what have given us the idea of the story, why we have choosen this title, the name of our support characters and so on...As for me, I'm very interested in.

Speaking of MRIs...I have another one tomorrow (Thursday), so I won't be around as much and likely won't get much writing done, either, as I'll likely still be really groggy when I get home and need to sleep it off for awhile. Hoping to be on (and writing) later in the evening though. |

Thank you! I have my Weird Al Yankovic cd (my traditional MRI music) and with the pills they gave me to take, am hoping to sleep through most of the test, like I did the last time. Will have a cloth over my eyes so - unlike Jaime - I won't get spooked if I open my eyes this time. |

It's okay, Bionika. We're patient. But you know what? I'm going to make a special section for this, because I think the subject is fascinating and your idea was that good! |
