reality check part 2

Was at the Marsden today for CT and MRI scans which went well despite the fact that they were running over an hour behind for the MRI scan which meant a very long wait, but it doesn't happen very often there so it really was no problem.

I had a long chat with my asigned specialist nurse, Jan, about what had gone on and been said at St Helier yesterday and felt so much better afterwards. She agreed that it seemed that they hadn't fully read my notes which might have meant for a few less of the silly comments they came out with..but enough....I feel slightly less troubled by it all today. It's not as though I can just opt out of playing the game now, can I?!

Tomorrow I see the stoma-care nurse who will talk me through what happens if I need a bag after the operation; if it's needed, this will only be temporary but is still freaking me out a bit...it's just not natural is it? Again this is at St Helier and I will need to muster up all my reserves to listen and perhaps to be polite, not having very much faith in them at present.

Thank you for all the comments, it seems that it's a good way of communicating and I love reading the comments I hope as much as you all enjoy the postings. Perhaps if I can get a laptop whilst in hospital you could have the news at 10 ...this is Radioactive Ro for news at 10, live from St Helier Hospital!.... what a giggle that would be. love you all xxxx
