Hello fellow downhillers. I hope you are all keeping well. As it states above I had my MRI scan today at New Cross Hospital I experienced problems with the nurse inserting the canulla.
First attempt was in the back of my right hand, that came as a bloody shock as I specified it would be easier to insert the needle in my left arm. As you can guess my suggestion was not auctioned and inserting the needle failed.
Second attempt was in my right arm and guess what that failed also. During these two disasters I went grey and felt hot the nurse admitted I did not look well, so this resulted in another nurse entering who said they would start the scan and try and take it whilst I was lying down in the scanner.
I ended up having a drink of water and having to remain where I was for a while as I was pespiring. They even offered me a chair to the scanner, no chance. I walked nay marched round the corner
Luckily once the scan started they were able to insert the canulla in my left arm (didnt I say that to the nurse when I was asked which arm to I want stabbing).
On a different note both my bairns and our lass have had their vaccines so I am pleased about that. My daughter and myself had the Pfizer vaccine and my son and my wife have had the astra zenica one. Our lass and son said she felt like they had a really bad 24 hour cold the day following their vaccine. My daughter and myself felt like we had a dead arm the next day but no cold symptoms.
So please have the vaccine when offered keep safe and carry on regardless.
