Hello Peeps

I know that Nikki and Mig are also at the hospital on Monday Morning, so pocket dwellers will be kept busy :lol: but I wonder if I might ask for pocket duties too? I have a chest x-ray and lung scans tomorrow morning starting at 9am. Apparently they are going to ask me to breathe radioactive dye before the first scan, and then inject me with more radioactive dye before the second :shock: so I reckon I will be glowing by the end of the appointment :lol:

Although I am well used to hospital appts, I have to admit to being a tad nervous about this one - specially the lying flat and still for the 45 mins of the first scan.

Thanks!

Tillyxxx

    Thank you so much Emma, Deedeeitsme, Numpty and Freesia. Really appreciate it.

    I reckon I might be able to earn a bob or two afterwards by plugging myself into the National Grid. :lol:

    Thanks again.

    Count me in too, please. I will be a somewhat 'split' DD but, being a plump old bird, I am sure there's nearly enough to go round. :wink: ((()))

    Thanks so much all for pocket duties on Monday. It wasn't a very pleasant experience but hearing you rustling in my pocket and feeling the calming vibes made it much easier and helped take my mind off what was going on.

    No longer glowing (I don't think !) although Sticky please can you just do one final check on me and the pocket dwellers before you put your geiger counter away again :lol:? No ill effects from the scan other than the expected complaints from my neck and shoulders about having to lie for an hour and a half on the scanner bed :roll: .

    Not expecting any results until my next lung consultant appt in July - unless they find anything of "interest" in which case I guess they will let me know sooner.

    Thanks again all for your support.

    Tillyxxx
