Scurred!

I am lying awake in my bed right now, wishing I had taken a nice tranquilizer at 11:59 p.m. so I could sleep. I have an appointment in the morning for a HIDA scan Gallbladder test and was told by the nurse at my doctor's office not to eat or drink or take anything and I mean ANYTHING after Midnight tonight. So I am freaking out about the experience that awaits me at the Regional Medical Center tomorrow morning, partially because I have no idea what is going to happen or how it is going to affect me and because I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pay $500 for a test that will tell me nothing is wrong. My biggest fear, though, is the damn needles. They have to inject me with a couple of things--the actual radioactive stuff and some fake bile to test how well my gallbladder is working. I personally do not love injections. I'm also scared to death because I'm slightly (and sometimes not so slightly) claustrophobic and I've been told this could be a problem. I mean, what if I get in there tomorrow and have a full-blown wig out?? P.S. reading other people's experiences on the internet can be fun, funny, helpful, and downright terrifying. I have no idea whether this thing will go off without a hitch, or if I will be puking my guts up gently for the last thirty minutes so as not to mess up the scan. Another issue I will face is complete and utter boredom as I will have to sit perfectly still with zero entertainment for around an hour and a half. SCARY! Especially for someone like me who can't sit still for two minutes. I'm thinking this is 2009, can't y'all just put me to sleep for this kind of thing?? So I guess I can spend the hour or so practicing my meditation, or more likely, freaking out about tons of things at work that are outside of my control. Fun! Anyway, I will try to remember to get on here with the actual story and result of my test. I'm gonna attempt to sleep while unmedicated again.
