   Yep. You can do it. Next time you might not have the kitchen sink faucet to break your fall… ;)

      I mean to tell you Gullible! You are right on here! Next time could be a last-in-this-lifetime event. The ‘with no warning whatsover’ is what really got my attention. Thanks so much.

   By the way, a few years ago, I experienced vertigo on rare occasions, maybe once a year. It took me a while to realize that about the same time, my life-long problems with EXTREME motion sickness had disappeared. Car sick while driving, seasick sitting on a fishing boat while still tied up to the dock. Just looking at a 400 foot long barge tied up while I was standing on shore. Since then? Sixteen meter waves (and “some that were phenomenal” according to the captain) in the Southern Sea; crossing the rough waters to the Great Barrier Reef and almost everyone but me was sick. Crossing Kachemak Bay in a blizzard. I figured I traded motion illness for occasional vertigo. Haven’t experienced vertigo for several years now, and I haven’t had any motion illness, either.

      Mere motion sickness and vertigo seem to be like comparing merely being tired and chronic fatigue. One is like a match and the other like a bomb. I DO NOT LIKE either of them. As a child I HATED (and would not go on them after the first experience) amusment park rides that made you dizzy. Absolutely HATE either of them. I had sea sickness for 7-days while riding out in the Pacific Ocean on a troop ship.

      I do NOT like either. Again, thanks for your interest.

   An hour? Sounds like an opportunity for a nap (with really good earplugs, of course). :-)

      Yes it can be a great opportunity for a bit-of-a-nap. The noise was not all that bothersome. To a degree the noise was entertaining. It’s all in the mind and the attitude isn’t it? Smiles and Thanks .. Cap

   Hi Cap,
   I had to have an MRI a few months ago (I previously had a couple MRI’s several years ago) and I did learn one trick which helped me through the process. I said ok, here’s what I need to do – “I just closed my eyes during the procedure and of course I didn’t move muscle”! It too was a long test, not quite an hour, but long time though! It ready did work for me and of course since you are a former Navy/Marine it should be a cake walk for you!

   Good luck my friend!

      Thanks ‘Zilla. As it turned out in the final analysis .. it was indeed a bit of a cake-walk. The closing of one’s eyes really does help. When I was mentally-geared for a full hour and suddenly it was over and done in just over 20-minutes I was shocked. BUT pleased. Thanks so much for your interest and support. Your Ally .. Cap
