My brain hurts!

Lucky, I know what you must be going through. There's nothing worse than worrying, not knowing what's going on and having to wait patiently for answers.

So, as we say in the US.... just 'hang in there' and this too shall pass. In the meantime, I'm sending you healing thoughts and prayers for your complete recovery.

Hugs Willa

Sending every good wish!

Adding my good wishes as well, Luckygirl

Luckygirl can you get one of those alarm gadgets that go round your neck so if you become too ill to actually make a phone call, you can just trigger it? If you don't answer the phone, then they will call your emergency contact and, failing that, call an ambulance. I might help put your husband's mind at rest. I know how worried he must be for you and it must be a source of anxiety for you too.

Thanks for kind wishes.

I do have a lifeline (installed for OH for when I am out of the house) and during the day I wear it so that if I am in another room and cannot raise him before I lose consciousness I can use that.

Believe it or not we also have a walkie talkie system by the beds - he is in a hospital bed and I am in a super king size one so there is a bit of a distance between us! In fact it was this system that alerted him when it happened last - thank goodness he heard it!

I will be happy when I know what is going on - I do not know what the wait is between scan and results being sent to GP. I must learn to be patient!

oh my Lucky, just seen this. Be patient, but persistent too - only a few days to wait for scan - but do make a fuss about getting early read and interpretation, so you can begin treatment.

Luckygirl. How are you today? I. hope youve received a letter confirming yourEaster appointment date?
Not long to wait now.

Being thick here, keep seeing references to PAW looked at the acronyms and can't see it there , what does it mean?

I couldn't swear to it but believe that Paw is MawBroon's husband/partner.

Maw and Paw Broon

I am MawBroon and Paw was my darling DH whom I lost last November having just turned 70 .

I had an aortic dissection on the Thursday before Easter. Five years ago tomorrow, in fact. It was the weekend that the NHS changed to NHSE and all that entailed. I had MRI and CT scans but nobody knew what it was until on the Tuesday when someone arrived who could read the scans properly.
So if you are having the MRI on the Sunday, you should not have long to wait for the scan to be read. Good luck.

Mawbroom.....
I did not realize that your DH Paw had passed such a short time ago. I admire your posts often with your ready wit and practical wisdom. Please accept my late condolences. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Hugs Willa

PS. Acronyms intimidate me too. I use them sparingly to avoid embarrassement

Luckygirl, that sounds frightening. I hope all the tests and scans happen on time and the results aren't so frightening and treatment will help you. Best wishes
