Missed Emmerdale Caz, I fell asleep. Kathy I am half expecting to have to go for another one with dye, my oncologist specifically wanted one with dye to show something up. After yesterday though no way. My back is so bad as they didn't even give me a pillow for my knees and I can't lay flat. She had me in so quickly I hadn't time to ask for one.
I've pm'd you Mrs BE.
I'm going to bed now as I didn't sleep last night for pain.

Didn't know I had some more messages, been clearing my e-mails out because my box was full.
Thank you all, I am beginning to relax a bit now, can feel the tension going. I am going to close down, watch Emmerdale then go to bed.

well done for being brave, you were brave cos you managed to get thru it

they must of been able to tell all they needed without the dye, so thats one less traumor to go thru isnt it caz,
you didnt need to be put thru 2 lots of scans,
they are so clunky and noisey

thinking of you and hope you manage to get some relief from your back

Well done Caz love.
I was not worried the first time I had it done and they were looking for a cancer then AND saw it... no problem at all, BUT while I was in hospital this time I had to have one and I was so ill with fear.
They put me through the other scanner instead.
Clever, brave girl you are Caz so proud of you.

Hi Ladies, yes I survived it, just, I felt sick and shaky when I got home and my back is really painful now.
I have had the dye (just noticed I spelt it wrong before, shows how worried I was) twice before, and as you say yuk.
Been speaking to Dutch and she said maybe the swelling has gone now so they didn't need the dye, a possibility.
When we came out of the hospital it was snowing quite thickly so I'm glad I'm home and in the warm now.

Well I'm back home, it took an hour and ten minutes and I was on the verge of pressing panic button when she said five minutes and we're done. I thought I could manage another five minutes, I needed help to get sat upright again as my bad back had set up and was so painful when I tried to move.
I don't understand what is happening because my oncologist said she wanted one doing with die so it will show up what the soft swelling is. When I got there I was told I'd go in and have the first part done, then they would bring me out and put some die in my vein for me to back in for the second part.
I came out and she said I can go, when I asked what happened to the die I was told it wasn't needed. ?????
I'll find out next week when I go for result.
It was awful, an old scanner, ear plugs, went in head first and the bed was static so I had to climb two steps to get onto it, never again.
Thanks for your support, I tried to remember all the messages and time passed quite well.

Morning Joyce, I am up and down this morninig, can't keep still. I think I will take Liz's idea of treating myself if I manage it, I think I will buy a lot of 1911 credits as I have found quite a few of my rellies without paying so it will be nice to look at the transcriptions or even the original page.
