GREEEEAT SUCCESS!

On Friday, I was admitted into hospital to have another MRI, this time under sedation.  Back in January, you may remember this.  It was a massive fail, so much that, well, lets put it this way, it was a fail.
My nuerologist Dr.Shakir (lovely man) was very understanding and said not to worry, and booked me to have another MRI, this time under sedation.

I was skeptical at first.  The idea was to give me a tablet to help sedate me and somehow this would be ok and I'd be happy to lay in that machine for 15-20 minutes.  AS IF.  I'd previously been sedated via IV to have wisdom teeth out and that was awesome, I didn't feel a thing, in fact I hardly remembered anything.  But the hospital don't do it that way.  Nope. They give you a tablet.

So I went in, was given a bed/chair thing and waited.  Whilst waiting I read the paper, talked to my Mother-In-Law (who came with) and just generally got used to the surroundings.
The bed/chair was a reclining thing and so I played about with it till I got comfortable, when all of a sudden the nurses come running in and asking me if everything was ok.  Very confused by this, I said it was, and the nurses pointed out that I'd manage to activate the Emergency Panic Button.  How embarassing!

Eventually the nice doctor came, told me what he was going to give me and said he'd be back in half hour to give them to me.  He explained how it would all work and I was still skeptical.
30 minutes late a nurse returned with these...

Still skeptical....30 minutes later, as I'm being wheeled down to Imaging, almost killed twice.  The first time by a huge trolley of clean linen and the second time by a big basin of dirty linen.  35 minutes later, I'm wearing a clean hospital gown, still skeptical, and then I'm giggling.

I mananged to have the MRI, it went well, I hardly moved, barring a coughing fit at the end, which they had to redo.  I was in there for 20 minutes, and I didn't even notice it!

Aparantly I can even get my scan images on to a CD for £25, which I really am considering doing.
Follow up is July 6th, so I get the results then.

I'm no longer afraid of these!

Maybe one day my hubs will take those tablets and we can go on one of these!

crazy is as crazy does?

Well this week has been interesting to say the least.  really it has.
Last week I witnessed a little old lady fall at Waterloo East, I stopped to help her, called an ambulance etc.  Turns out she was 73, drunk and wearing no pants (trousers), and when we asked her where they were she said "she didn't know".  I also managed to see 73 year old boobs.  Not the highlight of my week to be honest!

I did some training last week, and I've started working proper shifts, which included working Good Friday, Easter Sunday AND Easter Monday!  I didn't mind, meant I didn't have to use up any of my annual leave!

Saturday my cousin got married, cue familial "episodes".  She married a guy who's sister seemed ok at first and then became a little more "nuts" with each passing hour.  It is quite possible that she has a mental illness, but it's doubtful (I think).  She seems to be the "crazy" that you get with hateful jealous rage filled people.

It's scary and comical all at once, a bit like this picture!










She did say on her facebook page, and I quote....
Crazy Bat Shit Lady

"And if any thing go wrong with my record you will really see how fucking cold I can get watch!!! Fucking dare me !!!! O I will kill I fucking swear I will!!!!! Iday in lock down that all I want to hear a matter of fact even a call from them and unna ga know what time a day it is motherfuckers
!!!! And you in england don't fuck with me )ya hear ... cause the queen is in the rossire that's freemason don't fuck around you'll got first they run this hold world !!!look it up stupid fuckers go learn sumting new!!!"

So in real terms I should be scared, cause any day now the Queen is going to arrange a hit on me via her Free Mason buddies.  This makes me chuckle, actually, laugh a LOT.  As if.
Said Crazy Lady then proceeded to put other various threats on her facebook page, and the procceded to upload photos of herself having *what seems to be* sex with some guy.  Classy.

So all in all, I've had a great week, full of laughter and funny experiences!

I shall leave you with this.....
