Reading and comprehension grasshopper, reading and comprehension. Interesting that I read the sentence and punctuation and easily comprehend her referring to what she saw in her husband’s eyes.
Allergic to morphine. I’m like the exorcist. Head spins around and projectile vomit. lol When I was in high school I couldn’t even smoke pot. Gives me the drunk spins and I vomit.
I usually get whatever side effect is listed first on drugs. Doc gave me Celebrex. I stopped sleeping. Looked up side effects and first one is insomnia. For that reason I don’t take many drugs. Prilosec, meloxicam and tramadol. That’s it. Everything else they’ve tried affects me in on way or another.
Note "normal kidney function". Given the wide range of human variability, there may be different pathways to damage. An occasional idiosyncratic reaction is not unlikely.
Gadolinium possesses unusual metallurgical properties, to the extent that as little as 1.0 percent of gadolinium can significantly improve the workability and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures of iron, chromium, and related metals. Gadolinium as a metal or a salt absorbs neutrons, and it is, therefore, used sometimes for shielding in neutron radiography, and also in nuclear reactors.
Like most of the rare earths, gadolinium forms trivalent ions with fluorescent properties, and salts of gadolinium(III) are used as phosphors in various applications.
The kinds of gadolinium(III) ions occurring in water-soluble salts are toxic to mammals. However, chelated gadolinium(III) compounds are far less toxic because they carry gadolinium(III) through the kidneys, and out of the body, before the free ion can be released into the tissues. Because of its paramagnetic properties, solutions of chelated organic gadolinium complexes are used as intravenously administered gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents in medical magnetic resonance imaging.

Wife cannot tolerate this stuff. Any MRI is done without any contrast dyes
Punctuation problem at worst: semicolon should have been a colon and single quotes around the husband's "thoughts" - to read:
"I walked out of the bathroom and he just took one look at me and he knew: 'I'm about to lose my wife,'"
Had one recently. I think of it as training for space flight. Makes it easier.
I’m with you. Civilization going down the drain.
PING!
I’m so beat up it takes me at least 10 paces to straighten up from sitting but still no medications.

I shower in the mornings but sometimes I get the urge to take a bath, usually at night. It’s getting harder and harder to get in and out of that tub.
I’ll be 72 on the 29th. of this month - Lord willing.
A day after his birth, Chuck Norris drove his mother home from the hospital.
True, but sometimes I manage to allow AutoCorrect to sneak in and mess up my post. Then, I don’t see it until it’s too late. Tiny display on the phone doesn’t help.
I hear you. People who do not have claustrophobia have a hard time understanding our anxiety.
As with most medications, gadolinium MRI contrast agents have a known risk of commonly mild and self-limiting adverse reactions. Unfortunately, pride, liability concerns, and dogmatic medical school teaching to “think horses, not zebras” leads most doctors to reflexively discount the possibility of severe adverse reactions to the medications they prescribe.
My father is the same way. Worse, in a recent ER visit, instead of using an open MRI, they gave him a sedative that caused such an adverse reaction reaction that he became combative and had hallucinations, requiring two days of hospitalization.
You are probably correct. But a professional writer should compose a piece in such a way that the reader is not left to speculate about what he means.
Do you have claustrophobia?
Oh, dear, not good.

Evidently not. Just trying to help out though.
