Thalia bubbles with excitement. “What are we go-ing to wear this morning?” “Does it matter?” Urania questions. “We’ll undress and slip into an oversized, waffle-weave robe.” Calliope pinches Tal’s cheeks. “You look good… you feel good. On deck for a no-cancer-Monday, no-cavity-Tuesday, and clean-colon-Thursday… a week of self care.”
The sketch of the MRI machine, with patient in waffle-weave robe, reminded me of the days when any circus worth its salt shot someone out of a cannon! One or two clarifying questions might set your mind more at ease!
I absolutely agree with Karen. Therapists used to employ “implosion” for treating fears and anxiety. (Immersing the patient in mental visualizations of feared events using a progression of more and more fearful images) If there’s even a smidgeon of medical procedure anxiety lurking in your elbow, this week ought to do the trick!
I wish you the easy-peasy best in all you’ve just outlined. Maybe Thalia should stay home to hang out with Henny!? I can just see her at the control panel for the MRI. Spinning the knob while asking, “What does this one do?” 😱
Holy shit! (Pun intended.) You have a busy week, Gail. May everything "come out" in the best possible way!
It's really less interesting than boring and repetitive. You'll be glad to have it behind you. (OK, I'l stop now.)

T-shirt: “When I ask how you're doing, please just say ’good’. Don't start telling me stuff.” 😁
Sounds like this might be an applicable week!
