The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

It's like doing a Marylin, oniy not as high.

It's like doing a Marianne Faithfull.

In other news I've been waiting for an angiogram to check the success or otherwise of my operation earlier this year.

I got a phone call today saying I have pre-op on Friday and, subject to the pre-op, I'm booked for the angiogram next Friday.

Big decision lays ahead. I'll find out the dangers on Friday then I have to chose if I want the angiogram or not. We are talking camera in the brain here!!!

I really don't like this.

Isn't this where they dye your bood, to get it to show up better on the images.

Dont go there. You are a sweet young welsh woman and should not be subjected to such discussions.

She's not you know. You got part of that wrong.

Dont know what to say here. When the big C came calling on me I had no choice so it was the op (4 as it turned out).
You have a difficult choice. I know what I think you should do but its not for me to suggest.
Thinking of you.

There are variations on the theme, but that's pretty much it. I had the camera in my wrist as well for good measure, all the way down to dynarod my heart. Nice.






Not.

She is sweet, she is young(ish) and she is welsh(ish). She can do no wrong

Not.

I've had the CAT & MRI versions of this. To check the brain.

 

[PaulSB]

I've had one. Not nice, but pretty routine for them. They went in through my wrist.

Can I ask where they were looking Drago? I've had one for the heart which I was fully conscious for. Another in my brain which I knew nothing about as it was life threatening.

This one in the brain I have to consent to and frankly I'm bricking it already.

The blood is dyed and a camera inserted in the brain via an artery!

My ticker. I asked to be knocked out but they wanted me awake and talking to them.

Yep, did that to me when they looked in my heart. Feckin hurt!

He got three parts of it wrong......

I've had the CAT & MRI versions of this. To check the brain.

Did they find one?

 

[classic33]

Did they find one?

Ay, and again in recent years.

 

[classic33]

Get another chance to look summat like this tomorrow, for 24 hours.

That's not a previous photo of me, and they glue them in place.
