What a wasted afternoon.

[gness]

During the long journey undertaken in my attempts to make today's hospital appointment I told every Tom, Dick and Harry that many years ago I had a really bad reaction to the dye used in this type of procedure.
Neither Tom, nor Dick, nor Harry passed on the information. I got as far as the cubicle and mentioned it again...well! Surprise, surprise.
I then had to wait til they "found" a doctor who could advise. Never can find a doctor in a hospital in my experience. Was I sure it wasn't just a panic attack? Imagine me panicking?
An hour later....perhaps they found my notes?.....and I was told I had had a very serious anywhatsit shock episode and they didn't want to risk it again. Would I like to come back another day? Shall we make it an AB outing and take a picnic? I did try to get them to go ahead with my two epi pens and some Piriton to hand but they weren't keen.
Still, Martin the radiologist and I have hit it off.....great sense of humour.

Sqad. Any more? Mishaps or appointments? If app. then they are sending me another when I get back from Ireland mid November. They must have another way of doing it?? I asked the doctor I saw and she said they would have a think about it. x

[gness]

You didn't find a young lady to do it for you Sqad? Don't believe it. x

[gness]

Jokes Sqad!!!! You are not taking my predicament with the level of seriousness it deserves. ;-) x

[albaqwerty]

I'm more interested in any maimings which took place en route.

Sqadlet, has Mrs sqad gone shopping again?

[Sqad]

alba...too bloody right she has.......UK......spending money we haven't got...:-(

[DTCwordfan]

She should have gone to NY with youngest sister, sqad - a whole group of women on the loose, oh well that's their economy back in recession - but then there is the Marriott bar.............

[albaqwerty]

aha, spending money you think you haven't got. I always thought she was a canny woman :-D

[Sqad]

DT..;-)

[gness]

Hi Alba..no maiming today. Just a quiet drive to and from the hospital. x

Bad luck gness - minor miracle if they found your notes ... but better safe than anaphylactic. Bag of peanuts now to keep your strength up?

In other medical news - I have a tedious 'minor ear infection' and have to keep lying down so the antibiotic drops don't fall out and run down my jumper
