Has anyone bought one of these ?
Could you please tell me the size of it? I don't know why they don't state it! I have mailed M&S but they haven't replied yet.
Or has anyone seen the same thing elsewhere? Thanks!

Hi Neti, yes, I've had a couple of those. Of all the examinations I've been through, those are the ones I'd choose to do again if I had to. I'm not clinically claustrophobic but I am a control freak and easily overwhelmed with anxiety, and promise you: It's going to be much less of an ordeal than you fear.
This is the way I remember it: The scanner itself is open behind you (on top of your head, as it were). You never see that when you see the examination done on telly for instance, but it is, so you don't feel nearly as trapped as you may have envisioned. You will also be given a 'button' (?) to push (a ring signal, don't know the right word but you see what I mean) if you're uncomfortable or if you need to pause for any reason. The nurse will then come back into the room, talk to you, hold your hand. If you choose, you can listen to music in headphones. There is no pain, the only discomfort is that you have to lie still. The camera makes a loud, regular sound which is in no way painful but sounds 'hospitally' and thus intimidating. But all in all I think you'll be very relieved once you're 'installed' and realize: Oh, this is as bad as it gets...?? I doesn't get any worse? (And it doesn't.)
I just dropped by very quickly so if you reply I won't see it now. I'll try to look again later tonight to see if you asked me anything.

hi all
oh neti just lie back & think of george!
seriously I know how you feel - I'm like Kit & soon start to get twitchy if I'm out of control. She's given you a great answer & I haven't had a CAT scan but have had several other procedures where I've felt trapped....you can't 'leg it' when you're stripped to the waist hehe.
try to think beyond the time in the scanner...tell yourself that in 10 -20 mins it will all be over & you can have a cuppa, cream cake or some other little treat in the cafe if they have one.
Remember these people are used to dealing with the nervous patients....if you look closely you may see their bruises lol! You'll be fine, trust me.....

Hi all. Robinia, please bear with the foreigner but if this
is that robeener ner na ner ner?! :o)
...is a question for me you are going to have to rephrase it... (Something to do with my 'Robinina' typo, I suspect? It's nothing maybe, but I don't want to ignore it, if indeed you are asking something.)
Disney, jno, I like that - I grew up in Duckburg. Come to think of it, have I really left 'Disneyland'? I look like
Dopey in Vinny's collage... (Nice, though!) About the surprising definition of 'kip', I found it at www.rhymezone.com - I use that one a lot (and it's not just for rhyming.)
That kind of quiz sounds like a whole lot of fun, Jude; I don't think we have it here. People just get drunk and laid (she said bitterly.)

Oh I'm not actually in Gamla stan, Vinny, I just wanted to show off that alley as it is one of the sights of Stockholm. But you do know where to find me.

Kit....I'll skip the drunk bit if that's ok ;o)
don't worry the 'ner ner' thing is just something cheeky that usually little 'uns do but older ones ahem! have been known usually accompanied by this gesture
oh noooo it's gonna be another wild & windy night....no zzzzz's again......

Oh now I get it, Robinia! Heard it a million times and it's done exactly the same way in Sweden - I've just never seen it written! These are the things you don't pick up from dictionaries...
My posture leaves something to be desired, so I'm signing off before I drop off this stool, but I imagine y'all will be seing our Neti around and keeping her company. Bye now!

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm so sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."
The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead," he replied. "How can you be so sure?" She protested. "I mean, you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something."
The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room, and returned a few moments later with a black Labrador retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet patted the dog and took it out, and returned a few moments later with a cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird from head to foot.
The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100 percent certifiably, a dead duck."
Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman. The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$450!" she cried. "$450 just to tell me my duck is dead?"
The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry. If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the lab report and the cat scan, it's now $450.

Hello there biddies, raining here, so I'm quiet content, it's a fiesta so no shops open and another one on Friday, tut tut.
Am thinking of giving one of my lovely cats away, as he sprays everywhere and it's driving me mad. The woman came to see him as I insist that he gets to know her for a while before he goes, but he didn't want to know, so I think I'll have to keep him, she has lost 4 cats in the last 2 years and lives near two roads, whereas I don't live near anything like that only a small camino (lane!) I am scared that he'll be poisoned or run over so I have just decided to keep him, thanks for letting me rabbit on and make this decision.
