The Scan.

So.......today we took Dulcie for her CT Scan.We were originally going to go to Sunnybank Private Hospital for it and had an appointment for tomorrow at 12.00 noon, but 'Chatty Debra' from Blue Care who comes on Wednesdays for Dulcie's shower said "Why don't you ring Exact Radiology?"They are the people I went to for mine before I ended up at the hospital. I hadn't rung them because they were not listed on the form Dr Hew had given me but it turned out they did take Queensland X Ray referrals after all.We managed to get an appointment for today at 11.00.Dulcie had to fast for two hours before...but was still fast asleep at nine. We woke her at 9.30 and she had to drink a litre of water but could have no breakfast.It was all a bit of an ordeal for her. She didn't want to go. We had hardly turned out of the street in Roxy and she was wailing;"Oh, I wish I could just stay at home with my feet up and a cup of tea."She had to hold her arms over her head on the scanner and found that very difficult and uncomfortable and it proved quite difficult apparently to get decent shots but eventually her ordeal was over and we came home via the bakery for pies.Dulcie didn't want a pie she had her banana sandwich for lunch but had wanted a custard tart.Will and I had a pie......'Elaine' was over the moon......we hadn't had one in quite a while.We will ring Dr Hew tomorrow to find out the results of the scan.Thankfully she appears to be slightly better than she was and we can see little improvements in her ability to move around."Well, there's no bugger coming tomorrow so that's good, I can have a lie in," she said just before bed."Well, no," I said, "Blue Care will be coming for your shower sometime tomorrow."She just shook her head in resignation.
