The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Been waiting 25 hours for an MRI and been told ot won't be today now. Im discharging myself.

Don't do it.
I waited 4 days for my MRI. Its annoying as they kept saying "tomorrow for certain" then let me down.
If you go home you will have to go back and queue for it.

I recognise your frustration but if it's deemed you need this scan you should wait and have it when possible.

Matron! Tie him to the bed!

Don't - he will like it

and that will push his blood pressure up!!!

I agree

The MRI is critical because it will highlight any damage to your brain

and that it critical to judge when and here to throw Bruce's ball!!!

in all seriousness - that MRI might save your life

you need to stay for it
in spite of it being annoying

sending hugs!

I feel your pain, but is that wise ?

Probably not, but I'm home now.

CT scan showed nothing and the specialist consultant said its a TIA. The MRI was belt and braces, and I cant wait in hospital day after day indefinitely just waiting for that.

Im feeling better each day and the weakness on my left side is noticeably improving. The eyesight recovered within minutes of the event, all of which points to a TIA.

If it goes wrong Jon then you have my full blessing to say, "I told you so!"

I've got to rest, and I cant drive for a month.

Ok - as you say it will probably be OK

I presume Bruce was glad to see you!!!

It probably will be fine, although I concede I was foolish to do so. But its done now.

I presume Bruce was glad to see you!!!

He went doolally with joy and it was wonderful to see him too. Im now showered and in bed and he's cuddled up next to me.

Have a lovely evening with your family, but you must take in easy for a few days, all the best NN

Thanks Jon, appreciate the thought bud.
