OK, aunty Barbara - just for you -- daily thoughts resume --
I've been for my scan .. you have to go an hour in advance in order to drink this nasty orange stuff. You also get cold while you wait 'cos the waiting area is in reception, which is OK for 5 minutes, but pretty draughty after an hour.
You then have to have another dye pumped into your arm, which makes you feel like you're having a hot flush and weeing yourself at the same time .. luckily this is just an illusion.
The scans themselves are remarkably quick, you have to hold your breath for a few seconds for some of them, but it is quick and easy.
B had the day off to come with me and now she is cooking up some tea for us. She is going into work later, for a parents' evening, and she will stay over there for the night. I will have Nurse Connie (aka Liz K) here with me, so I wont get lonesome!
Later arrivers coming over to add comments can still add to the 100 post thread below!

Hi Sue,
It's me again, cousin Poe.
Sounds like a boring day at the scan unit & cold too. Hope the results bring good news for you.
Anyway I've found a poem again after which I will have to find a new library book. So here goes:-
DADDY FELL INTO THE POND
Everyone grumbled. The sky was grey.
We had nothing to do and nothing to say.
We were nearing the end of a dismal day,
And there seemed to be nothing beyond,
Then
Daddy fell into the pond!
And everyone's face grew merry and bright,
And Timothy danced for sheer delight.
"Give me the camera, quick, oh quick! He's crawling out of the duckweed!" Click!
Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee,
And doubled up, shaking silently,
And the ducks all quacked as if they were daft,
And it sounded as if the old drake laughed.
Oh, there wasn't a thing that didn't respond
When
Daddy fell into the pond!
(by Alfred Noyes)
Take care. Love. Pauline x
The dye in the arm sounds like a bit of a rush. Hope they warned you to wear a couple of inconti pads just incase illusion and reality met up.
The weekend won't come soon enough. Love you always, John Julie Toby and Joe
To Aunty Susan, I am looking forward to Christmas.

I just typed up a long comment but it made me login with the Google account and ERASED THE COMMENT. It is the internet's, or more specifically the gay and lesbian community of the West Midland's loss.
I'll let you know about next week as soon as work get their arses in gear.
Quote "It is the internet's, or more specifically the gay and lesbian community of the West Midland's loss."
hmm - the mind boggles! I hope you try again!
p.s. the LGB community that reads this is bigger than the West Midlands --- indeed it is posititvely international with readers in France, Canada and Australia!
xx
oooh and China - well there is a reader there, but he aint LGB, so he gets his own international mention
xx
The way you describe it seems pretty straightforward and relatively painless!
Fingers crossed! xx
testing this new entry style.
Dad xx
