So sorry about your news Suzeanna. I also have problems with my back and when I have to have scans done I ask them to put a pillow under my knees and that relieves some of the pressure.

Snow - sorry to read you had such a bad experience. I think spending the £150 will be money well spent and put your mind at ease.

Sorry about the bed situation Snow. Hope there is one for you later on in the day.

Good luck Snow and hope all goes well.

Snow it is good that they are going to do the heart scan sooner rather than later. I had a scan followed by a further test which took three hours on two separate weeks. If I drop dead suddenly, it shouldn't be from heart related problems as they said my ticker was fine!! Mine were done and done quickly, as they wanted to know if my heart could stand the cancer treatment that I needed. Hang on to the thought that you might be pain free.

Snow in many ways it was a positive consultation. Just think about having the one procedure done at a time and not on the whole picture. First the heart tests and if they are fine then on with the operation to remove Sid. I am also a large lady and did fine when I had my kidney removed. I had an excellent anaesthetist and surgeon. The problem I had was post op as I had problems with lung function and had a couple of days in intensive care during which time my lungs inflated themselves. I really do hope they can do something for your pain.

Fingers crossed for you today Snow. Hope they can do something for your pain now and then do further tests if necessary.

I hope when you see the consultant Snow you get listened to and he/she finds out what is wrong and more importantly gets it fixed. That amount of pain is just not tolerable. I always used to get told that everything that was wrong with me was weight related, but I am not convinced. Once diagnosed and treated for cancer they have gone surprisingly quiet on the weight issue!! Take a list of all the things you have noticed and all the questions you would like to ask.

Thanks for that Griff. Like yourself I have medical problems, but try to keep cheery in spite of this. My dogs are my sunshine in life and keep me going.

Dogs have all had boosters and now it is my turn to have an MOT. Dentist today, doctor tomorrow and need to make an appointment for an eye test some time soon.

I am also a member of the stupid o'clock club. I either wake around 3 a.m. or I am still awake at 3 a.m. never having been to sleep. Feeling very zombiefied.

We bought a 'thing' to go on the bottom of the garage door and never had them in there again.

I don't mind the mice as long as they stay outdoors. We had them in the garage one year and I didn't much like that.

Hope Snow has had some pain free time and has managed to do her shopping for any hospital necessaries.

I have now Googled this number and it says it is a scam.
