DJ360 6,779 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 I must say I do like a bit of cheddar mesen. Spent almost an hour lying in an MRI scanner this morning getting the old ticker scanned. As you do on a Snday morning....... "Breath in...breath out and hold ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... and resume breathing" About 91 times I did that as far as I recall.... Still it's nice to know they care Then home and it was lovely to see Daughter, Son in Law and Grandkids turn up. My daughter had posted on Facebook that she wished everyone well for the Great Manchester run and was sorry she wasn't running this year. What she had omitted to tell me was that she's had pleurisy.. She didn't want to worry me.... Kids eh? Col 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,544 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 The NHS works 24/7 thankfully. When I was in QMC last year they wheeled me down for an X-Ray at 2 in the morning, not as an emergency but because there was a slot. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,799 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Just read that the royal wedding fiasco yesterday cost the hard pressed British taxpayer £32 million ! How many council houses would that build or replacement hip joints ? One word for it is OBSCENE. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,323 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 A brilliant sunny day watched by thousands who obviously enjoyed it all,,to say nothing of the millions around the world, the country needs more feel good factors like that,, £32 million cheap at half the price, footballers earn more than that...........where i do agree catfan the country should be building council houses,never mind affordable homes where speculators rip the young off with exorbitant rents............ Thats OBSCENE........... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a nice ripe camembert which I shall sample with a good red wine later this evening after another day battling with the bathroom ceiling! Grrrrrr! Hope your mum has a lovely birthday, Nonna. I once read of a student whose buddies thought they would have some fun with him. They rubbed some Camembert cheese under his nose while he was sleeping. When he woke up he sniffed and said, "This room stinks." He went outside to get away from it. When he came back in he said. "The whole world stinks." Many a true word spoken in jest. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a fair point, but I dare say they can move a bit quicker for urgent cases. Apart from the slow but relentless progress of left ventricular failure, I'm pretty stable. I dare say that a consultant radiologist will look at and interpret the scan results and then pass this onto the Cardiologist, who will then decide whether or not any surgical intervention would be necessary/helpful and then arrange to see me to explain all and recommend a future plan. I'll put any further stuff about this in the 'Ailments' thread. Don't want to put anyone off their brekkie.. Col Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,419 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Starving blood test this morning. No breakfast, no coffee...in short, nowt! Quick trip round Morrison's. Could have eaten every loaf in the bakery but, no, have to come back home and take my thyroxine...then wait 45 minutes before anything else passes my lips! Ground coffee, yogurt, granary toast and honey coming up! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,914 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I go next week Jill. Fortunately the nurse can almost do it blindfolded. But I'm glad I have them. Blood tests are usually done on an empty stomach but I can eat beforehand, dont know why . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trogg 2,037 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Jill only ever had to have one of those starving blood tests , of a morning I need three black coffees before I am human, that day I felt sorry for anybody who came near me. I have never been sent for one again I think they knew better. To deprive a person of their morning coffee is a form of torture. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,419 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Too right, Trogg. I'm not exactly sweetness and light first thing in the morning at the best of times but deny me my coffee and I'd likely go for your jugular, At least they got what they wanted first shot! I am needle phobic...not that I get any sympathy. Better now. Breakfast scoffed! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Well, the Film Festival shenanigans is all but over for another year but the cursed car race starts on Thursday. As Cannes re-opens, Monte Carlo will be effectively closed to human life during that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
