I'm sorry....you will be sick listening to me......I've got a dexa scan tomorrow.....not sure whether i should ask for pocket duty again :???: It is only a Dexa scan.....{Not an MRI} uggghhhhh!!!!! The last one I had was 3 years ago. Fairly simple.
Then I'll be quiet until the week after next :lol: thats when I have the glow scan :lol:

Love
Hileena

    Hi Hileena,
    I'll be in your pocket but probably have to bring my Bichon. She's only little and will cry if I leave her.
    You must be sick of the sight of hospital but at least something is getting done.
    Don't forget to remind us when you will be radio-active.
    Hugs May

    Count me in too, I want to have a DEXA and so need to know what is involved. Apparently it is not too bad and quite quick, it's a different process to an MRI, yes? Good luck, I am sure it will be fine. DD

    Hi Kellerman
    I wont bve radioactive this one :lol: The next one in less than 2 weeks.....when I ask for pocket duty.....I'll give you the timings and you can hop out of my pocket at the due time and then back in again :lol::lol:
    Hi Jillyb
    Snacks sound lovely. mmmmmmm!!!!!!
    DD
    Its much different to an MRI or at least the last one i had was :lol:
    MRI.....was in that tunnel for 30mins and my nose was about 1 to 2 inches below the top of it.....not very good and i refuse to push the button.....It would only have to be done over again if they brought you out.
    Hi Toni,
    Hope thats not the only reason :sad: although she might?? wouldnt put anything past that one :lol::lol::lol::lol:
    DD sorry meant to say.....
    The one and only one i had....I just lay on a bed and a light thingey went back and forward over me a few times and that was it....didnt touch me. I dont know if there are any different kinds....Beam me up scottie :lol::lol:
    Love

    Hileena, I think it's about time you invested in some garments with not so much pockets as bunk beds cos I'm getting dizzy whizzing up there & back again. Then we could all just book in for B&B with you.

    Course I'll be there. Hope it goes well and quick and you don't end up hareing off to another hospital this time.

    Hi, I got a telephone call from the GP......remember I rang and left a message......wanted to know if she needed to chase up the mRI before I went away. Apparently No.....its now in the hands of this generalist doc.....who will get together all the results, MRI, Dexa, Bone scan and sort out a plan of some sort and let her know.
    So I'm afraid you are going to have to wait for the result of gallstones :lol::lol::lol:

    Hi Hileena

    I will be ready for pocket duty tomorrow. Just made 5 individual trifles for any one who would like one :grin:

    I am glad all your results are going to one person, atleast then he can study them all and hopefully come up with a good answer for you.

    Hi Hileena, I've had this scan. Takes about 15 minutes. Nothing to go in and doesn't touch you.
    I had it because of brittle bones and they wanted to check my hips.
    By far the best scan I've had.
    Will have to bring a treat for my bichon otherwise she may eat the trifles.

    Hi
    Just popping in before I get ready to go....Ohhhh this site!!!!!!! just got to the stage of pressing send and the message disappeared :x
    Yes this is the easiest scan I've had and the MRI is the horribilist one {making up my own words now} :lol::lol: The glow in the dark one :lol::lol: that is just an unknown quantity at the moment.
    Kellerman.....what were your results....bones OK?
    My result {3 yrs ago} was osteopinia......a cross between normal bones and osteoporosis :eek: GP thinks after this length of time it is probably osteoporosis by now :eek: Oh well just have to wait and see.
    Cris.....those pasties got lost in transit????? Never did get my veggie one :sad:
    Love
