First night in MRI

You will recall that I arrive on the ward at midnight.  I was introduced to a nurse and taken to bed 22.  It was so comfortable!  I was given some bed clothes and a delicious salad, which I ate and enjoyed.  I then tried to settle down to sleep.  I had to do MRI scan - take swabs inside my nose and along the side of my groin.  Blood pressure and pulse.  Blood sugar levels (a pin prick in a finger).  I then struggle to work out how to turn out the light.  This was pointless because other bays had lights on, so I tried to settle in the patchy light.  I am definitely high on steroids.  There is no sign of sleep at all.  I hear someone snoring to my right, to my left and directly in front of me.  It is incredibly noisy.  A lady starts crying, "I want to go home, I want to go home".  There is lots of talking around her bed, and she eventually settles.  I start to think that all will be quiet and a lady walks up the ward to the loo.  Now I need the loo, so I get up to go to toilet.  I am given some slippers that are rather like verruca socks, you pulled a sock up over your feet.  I found them very comfortable!  Back to bed with slippers on.  Take the slippers off - they catch on the blankets.  I am cold - there is a big air conditioning draft.  Nurse comes around to take blood pressure and pulse.  Every station, she puts light on, closes curtains, and takes the samples.  Then she opens curtains and turns off the light.  She comes to me, and I ask for another blanket.  I am told that everyone is cold because the air con has been mended, so ward has changed from roasting hot, to drafty channel.  I did fall asleep when it was day light, but was quickly woken again for more samples.
I was so relieved that they allowed me to come home the next day - I wouldn't have survived another night.
