They do have different kinds of MRI machines, there is a more open MRI, but probably not at your location. So, sedation is the best option, I think. Sorry you have to reschedule. I've never had an MRI, but I've seen them done.

I know you don't want her to take any more medication - but sometimes a little antidepressant really helps, it is usually protocol in any catastrophic illness like your mom has. It helps people to not feel so badly about their circumstances. Gary takes an antidepressant, and he is the most NOT depressed person in the world. But because of his heart failure, diabetes, lung problems, etc. the doc wanted him to take one, and I think it helps a lot because you can get really down about your circumstances.
