I went for the scan this morning. We set off at 8.05 for an 8 mile journey to the Hospital a journey that took an hour. It may seem odd if you don't live on the Island but at times there are horrendous traffic jams.
The scan was due at 10 but they ask you to arrive an hour beforehand. I was given a jugful of water(not the revolting fluid) to drink. Fortunately I wasn't required to put one of those gowns on. The scan itself involved them sticking yet another needle into my arm. This released some drug which would circulate round the various blood cells to enable them to detect the state of things. The machine had an automated voice telling me when to breathe in and out. It was a woman's voice with a fine Scottish accent(I put that last sentence in for our Daughter in Law Gillian).
Monday night is baby sitting night so we went to Andrea's for tea. Otherwise it was a relatively quite day.
There will now be a break in blog entries. We have decided to go away for a week in North Yorkshire. Both of us need a rest. The only snag is the journey which will take at least 5 hours excluding time spent on the ferry. Where we are going does not have on line facilities so the next blog entry will in all probability be on 1 July.
Best wishes to everyone and thanks for your continuing interest and support.
