MY back was now really hurting...

I still couldn’t drive as it was too painful and I was feeling fed up.

Dad was my taxi as he was driving me to and from work.

Then, I had the phone call from the CT department at the hospital. My biopsy was in a few days time. Eek!!

It sounded a lot more involved than we were expecting!

I was told that I would need to go to the 'day case' area at 8am and then the procedure was booked for 11am.

I was asked if I'd had bloods done for 'clotting' (everyone's favourite word!) - what are they going to be doing to me??!!!!

I said I'd had bloods taken for lots of things, but wasn't sure if that was one. She said she would check and ring me back.

I told Tim. My stomach started going over.

Tim asked if I needed to go 'nil by mouth'.

It wasn't even something I'd considered, so when the lady from the CT department called me back to say I would need to go and get bloods done at the hospital, I asked.

She said, 'oh that's a good question, let me check'.

She checked and then said, yes, I would need to be nil by mouth. Crikey.

Thank goodness Tim had mentioned it as I probably would have tried to have some brekkie and a cuppa before heading off early doors to the hospital.

Until next time readers. Xx
