Life's a climb (sometimes the mountain's steeper than you think)

The MRI

(5 a.m.)

(Carly's mom) "C'mon Carly, we gotta go to the hospital for your appointment. Get your things together and meet me outside."

(Carly) Hang on mom, Just gotta get my phone and my purse then I'll be right out!

(Carly's thought) "Great just great! ANOTHER stupid MRI....I wonder how long I'll last in this one.... *sigh*. That's the last thing I want to do at five in the morning. Man I'm not a morning person...."

(While driving)

Carly's thought) *Yawn* "Ugh....I hate mornings! And having to be put in a magnetic torture chamber of a machine doesn't exactly lighten the mood!....."

(Carly's mom) "Carly, it will be okay.  I know this isn't your favorite thing to do but once you've finished we can go get ice cream!"

(Carly) "Mom c'mon, I'm fourteen....stop talking to me like I'm a child. *rolls eyes*"

(Carly's mom) "Geez.....somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning! *sigh*"

(Carly mumbles) Whatever...*sigh* (puts in ear buds) *thinks* "Ooh I love this song!!" (starts singing).....

(Song finishes)

(Carly) "Mom?"

(Carly's mom) "yes?"

(Carly) "I'm nervous..."

(Carly's mom) "I know, but it'll be okay once you're in BAM! They'll start, and be done before you know it."

(Carly) "*sigh* Yeah, this "before you know it" you speak of is like an hour...really nice encouragement though...*sarcasm*"

(Carly's mom) "Love you too. Carly"

(Carly) "Mmm hmm..."

(At the hospital in waiting room)

(Hospital intercom) "Doctor Davis to the operating room, doctor Davis to the operating room."

(Carly's thought) "I swear if those nurses come at me with a needle....it's going somewhere it shouldn't....*sigh*"

(Carly's mom filling out paperwork, while thinking out loud) "Weight, 95 pounds....any current medication, Yes."  (finishes paperwork)

(Carly) "Mom?..."

(Carly's mom) "Uh huh?"

"Carly" Are you as tired as I am?"

"Carly's mom" Shoot! yeah I got up at three this morning. I'm T-A-R-D tard!!*

(Nurse) "Carly Cain?"

(Carly's thought) "Oh perfect.....*sarcasm*"

(Carly) "That's me...."

(Nurse) "Right this way please....

(Nurse) "Let me get your blood pressure."

(Carly's thought) "Oh wonderful....starting off with an arm squeeze!"

(Nurse) "120 over 83"

(Nurse's thought) "Someone's a tad nervous..."

(Nurse) "Okay ladies! Have a seat in room 2. And the doctor will be right with you."

(Carly's thoughts) "Down to the final count down. Just thirty more minutes and I'll be facing the magnetic bulldozer....*sigh* sweet start to the day....*sarcasm*"

(After thirty minutes, knocking on door)

(Dr. Harris walks in) "Hello ladies! how are you this morning?"

(Carly's thought) "Peachy just peachy....*sarcasm*"

(Carly's mom) "Good how 'bout yourself?"

(Dr. Harris) "I'm doing down right dandy!"

(Dr. Harris' thought) "Poor girl looks annoyed...I don't blame 'er."

(Dr. Harris) "Okay Miss Cain, c'mon this way."

(Carly's thought) "Oh joy......just this walk down this unforgiving hallway,  then the torture begins....couldn't be happier *sarcasm*."
