That is a really lovely pic KK Hen made me smile.
Today was challenging -
Hospital for DH.
All very hard work. Managed to get the girls at the Adult centre to take Danny early. I remembered to let out the hens and feed them. Was in a real flap trying to get all done in a big hurry. The internet was off here so I couldn;t even talk to you all last night
Anyhow got Danny to adult centre and got DD to sort herself to pick him up after cause I knew we wouldn;t be back in time.
Rushed on to the Hospital which is quite a long way - 100 mile round trip but I guess for you guys thats not far.
We got there just in time and the nurses were lovely. They took us into a quiet room and explained about DH having to have an injection - it is the same stuff used to treat Cancer so like a lower dose of chemo. We were told that he has to stay away from pregnant women and our grandaughter - very worrying
Then they just told us to go out and enjoy ourselves for a few hours while the stuff went round his body. So we walked down into the town and looked around the shops.
We got coffee and a spot of lunch, then my moble phone died so we went and bought a replacement. It has a camera on it so is all fancy. Not sure how to use the thing though??? ( I am not entirly sure how they thought we were going to avoid pregnant women and young children in a city like Belfast????)
Anyhow we really took time to distract ourselves. - Then had to be back at the Hospital for 1pm for the scan. IT wasn;t nice. DH was put on a bed and his head was basically strapped into this machine and the top was lowered way down to the tip of his nose. He is cloustraphobic so it was terribly stressful for him. Anyhow at least he didn;t have to go through the thing like the cancer patients. - I had an MRI once and my head was also strapped down so I kind of knew what was comming sort of thing. So did DH really being x ambulance service but you know how you just don;t want to think about stuff when its you. IT didn;t actually take that long - about 30mins. Then they let us go but DH was bright red in the face and even his ears were burning and his face tingled.
I was a bit worried about the whole thing. - I mean things like if they wont let him near the baby for three days then what is it going to do to Danny and I??? I wonder if his hair will come out a bit in a few days????
I just didn;t ask because part of me didn;t want to know. - Bit horrific really. DH says he feels funky and unwell and now we are home he has gone to bed. DD is comming round with Danny later, I just told her NOT to bring the baby. so when she comes in I will have to give her a grilling about the possibility of her being pregnant before I tell her that her Dad is radioactive and glows in the dark!!!!!!
OMG -
At least it is over and we can know for sure about what were up against regarding the tremours in his hands and all that and the frustration when he is constantly dropping stuff. We had to know. If its Parkinsons we will have to plan ahead. I guess if its a tumor or something like that they will find out deffinately with this test. We should get the results back in a few weeks apparently. - I want to know now. why can;t they have the radiographer there to point stuff out when your in the room????
Anyhow - we walked today into the town and round the shops and had a healthy lunch so we were good.
Oesdog - thanks for being there you guys I am going to go rest a bit.
This picture looks like I'm skipping blissfully down the lane
