What is in that fluid that gets injected into people for contrast in CT Scans?
I will not be looking it up on tinternet, because that might make me feel even worse.

I would add that all the staff were very kind, and I did not get any impression that they were getting frustrated/annoyed/ exasperated in any way. It took about twenty minutes, or more, to insert the cannula.

For my recovery this weekend, I have mice pies, and a mint Terry's chocolate (orange?). I will be taking it easy this weekend as you may imagine.

I think it is iodine based. They told me it would cause hot flushes.

As Mrs 73 is due back today from the outlaws early Christmas. I've just finished wrapping her Christmas presents, annoyingly a few are still to arrive. So not quite job done. Time for and tidy up the wrapping paper.

I agree. Did make me want a Carlsberg after the show.

Is that the full film or the US cut down one ?

Is it relevant that the organ they are trying to scan is the liver? That is where my tumour is, and the liver detoxifies the blood. Apparently my liver function is normal.

You might suddenly feel a warm sensation as it flows through your body. It feels a bit strange.

A bit better night as I could at least smell the Vicks 🤔 at work today but I wish I had bailed as were painting with 2 pack stuff you need a gas mask for which is fun with a bunged up snozzle.

One of the greatest war films ever made. It's Mrs 73's favourite film , the larger at the end is real they did 14 takes. So John Mills ended up quite drunk in the end scene. Also Sylva Sims hated beer. The song van der Poel sings is Sarie Marais which is in fact the quick march of The Royal Marines.

Yes I like the film too. You get to see a Bristol Beaufighter flying over them dropping a message. The only thing which gets me is seeing a Land Rover parked in the background.

What is the US cut down version like as we didn't take part in the war?

Morning.
It is grey and damp here although it doesn't seem to be raining. It looks like it has been windy as one of our outside chairs has fainted.
I am still taking it easy. I'm feeling tired quite a lot and feeling a bit short of breath. Last night just as qualifying was about to start I had a migraine, I took 2 parrots which seemed to help. I will take it easy again today.
