Yeah. The longer it drags on, the more I worry.
Evidently, Chris flew to Los Angeles to see a specialist and get an MRI there. It's not sounding good. If it was likely OK and the MRI was just precautionary, he wouldn't have flown to Los Angeles.

Chris Paul has family there so it may not be as bad as it sounds although I'm still worried.

His house is there, his kids are there. It's the All-Star break so he would be going home anyways. And now likely not playing in the ASG So having it done were he will be for the next week makes sense.

This is what I have been telling myself.

The fact that he's getting the MRI in LA is probably not any bigger deal than if he were to get one in PHX.

He goes into it a bit in the podcast he did with JJ Reddick. Timestamped here:

That is crazy foreshadowing there LOL.

As a mildly claustrophobic person who's had to do a couple of MRIs myself (only on knees though), I completely sympathize.

I've done MRIs before. Usually I pretend I've been abducted by aliens. :)

The worst experience is when I tried listening to music using earphones. It was loud and they played the wrong genre.

Talk about being mad when I got out of there.

As a three time back surgery veteran, I’ve been in too of many Full body MRIs to count at this point. And they all suck.

There was one I did in LA that was an open MRI. That was easy peasy.

Have had a couple MRIs. One for my chronic migraines and the other on my back. I get to do another one because my neck I think has a dislocated or messed up disc I have been ignoring. Now my neck is swelling in one spot every few weeks. I guess that's what I get for ignoring it. Can't wait!!!!!

He bought a house here I thought.

He has a house there and lives there during the off season

He talked about it on the JJ Reddick podcast but he is extremely claustrophobic and hates being in MRI machines. The place he goes in Cali has a machine he can just put his arm in, instead of his whole body and will always fly there for MRIs.

You guys should have tried MRI's back in the 70's when it took several hours to do a full body scan. And the machine made so much noise it rattled your teeth.

I suffer from severe anxiety and have taken beta blockers for panic attacks yet always looked forward to MRI’s. Probably explains my therapy bills.

I just had an MRI done last week for some back issues. In the tube for 45 mins. Usually I’m okay with those kinds of things but having to wear a mask in there made it almost unbearable.

Oh, the mask would definitely not add to the fun.
