Blather, Waffle and Poppycock!

Good luck, Phil!

Oh dear!

Look after yourself, old chap.

[Techno]

Thanks, chaps.
The test itself doesn't bother me in the slightest....apart from the fact that it'll mean half a day's work, or more, down the pan. 
I WANT them to find some clots, or inconsistencies in the veins.....Then I know it can be controlled/cured with pills, rather than it being something 'sinister' which will need further investigating.

Cheers - Phil

If you want them to find some clots  - pint them to the Forum 

Seriously I hope all goes well and the successfully diagnose what the problem is without having to bugger about with you too much. 

Hope you get a very attractive nurse to distract your attention.

Thanks, Mark !!

Thanks to you, as well, Matt.

I thought you got DVTs from sitting on planes. It seems to me, friend Techno, that your life isn't sedentary enough to have got one that way.

My mother was a nurse in the 1950and learnt the following:
     Thrombosis - blood clot.
     Marital thrombosis - being married to a bloody clot.

She has frequently talked of people being afflicted by Marital Thrombosis.

[Techno]

Apparently I HAVEN'T got any clots in my leg......So that'll probably mean yet MORE tests. 
I'm convinced it's the B/P pills that have caused this. (It's all happened since I went onto a second B/P pill....Too much of a coincidence ?)

Oh, okay...

[Techno]

Oh......FFS.......

Now they're referring me for a CT Scan.....Why don't we try the simple things first....Change my B/P medication....Give me some 'water pills'...so I pee the excess fluid from my body !

I SO wish I'd never given in and let them do a blood pressure test on me a couple of months ago....I've always had high blood pressure....Maybe that's my personal default setting.....(I'm not normal...you all know that !  )

Hey Ho !

Although when the pills take effect, you'll be even more peed!

[Techno]

NCIS - Gibbs'  Rule 39.

There is no such thing as a coincidence.

Why go looking for complicated solutions, without discarding (or trying) the simple answers/solutions first.
Another trip over to Haverford West hospital once the letter from the hospital turns up. 

I'm fed up - Phil.

[Orcs]

No wonder the NHS keeps saying it has no money. They send you for another scan goodness knows what that costs instead of changing your BP pills which will probably cost a few shillings!

I hope things go ok.

Aside from this was the nurse attractive ??

[Techno]

I didn't notice, Mark.

But she had a very pleasant personality.

Cheers - Phil
