That's really all they want it to do since it's an anti-anxiety med. They prefer you didn't fall asleep as you might involuntarily move and sometimes they will talk to you to tell you the next steps. Like snap said, "This series will take x minutes." Or they may ask if you're warm enough or need a pillow under your knees or whatever. They keep blankets in a warmer that can make it quite cozy.

Give your DH a slap upside the head from all of us, m'kay? You're right that it isn't just the stress of the MRI but also the entire quandary about why you're getting the MRI.

Hang tough. You'll get through it fine.
