I will remain then keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Since I requested that I no longer receive un-addressed mail (leaflets and the like) the amount of post I receive is bordering on the non-existent.

weenie · 09-10-2014, 12:49

Same here since paying everything by DD.

Try not to worry too much Weenie and just take each hour of the day as it comes.as there is nothing you can do about the effects of the Moviprep once taken then just being quite near the toilet and although tomorrow won't be totally comfortable its not as bad as l thought it was going to be..

Yep best way to be. I'll be trying to convince myself the very same this time next week for another MRI with Barium, dye and buscopan. Already losing sleep over it. Just can't wait to get it done and over with as the fear is always worse than what you expect.

Good luck weenie, hope it comes back all clear. Peanut, ditto to you. Had a barium swallow test myself this year and I never want to have to do another one I can tell you.

This time tomorrow you will be on your towards a lovely meal to make up for the Moviprep and Colonoscopy. So just remember to hold your nose when you down the moviprep ( kills the taste) and try to relax as much as possible whilst the colonoscopy is underway and you will be fine....honest indian. <<hugs>>

Good luck with the MRI peanut. Not much fun to be gained in all this is there? <<hugs>>

I am waiting to hear if I need yet another. I am so tired of all the messing about at the moment, didn't know that there were so many ways I could be looked at, MRI scanning, CT scanning, Ultrasound ........

If it wasn't for my family and friends I think I would have just thrown in the towel months ago.

Here's a moan I've been wanting to get off my chest for a while: People who want me to fix their computers

Now, I live in a small North Wales village, the kind of place that everyone knows everyone, so everyone knows my day-to-day work is IT. The nearest IT shop/branch of PC world is a good 45 mins away by car. This means I get a fair few people asking me to fix their PCs, Laptops, tablets and the odd broadband connection

For the most part, those asking are courteous and willing to pay, and are happy for me to take my time and sort out their issue. The ones I'm loosing patience with are...

The door knockers: These are people who expect me to drop everything and go and fix their machine right now. They usually call at dinner time (having spotted my car outside) and seem quite perturbed that a load of malware popups on their machine will have to play second fiddle to my dinner.

"Have you switched it off and on again": So many people call me out to fix problems such as lack of internet that they could easily sort themselves with a quick power cycle.

Battery powered idiots: These are the ones that bring me a laptop to repair, but neglect to bring the power cable for for it, expecting me to either fix it on the (ancient and overcharged) battery or that I must have the charger for every laptop ever made to hand immediately.

Guess the password: Having dropped off their laptop (with the power cable!) the owner then launches off without giving me the password, or scrawling it so illegibly on a post-it note that it can't be read. I've given up trying to phone them and have simply resorted to resetting the password

"Its a virus isn't it": It seems the cause of every technical problem from popups to a duff monitor (Seriously) is "a virus". Remind me to tell my car mechanic that the squeaking brake noise is down to the head gasket...

Payment: Most people realise I'm giving up my free time to sort out their shizzle, and are happy to stump up payment (be it money, favours in return or similar). Others seem totally shocked at the idea...

Picture the scene. It's a cold, grey morning in the Southside of Glasgow. One handsome, young chap is cycling along on his way to work. Unlike the Daily Mail stereotype of cyclists he is wearing multiple bits of Hi-Viz clothing, has a bike in full working order with lights etc all on and hasn't jumped every red light he has come to on his journey.

He is making his way through a roundabout thinking "excellent, almost there. What a lovely morning for a bike ride" when an Audi driver clearly decides to punish him for daring to be on the road without paying road tax by pulling out in front of him leaving him just enough time to think.

"ooh bugger, this is going to hurt"

Before being transported from a nice comfy saddle to the cold wet ground via the Audis bonnet and windscreen. End result was the hero of the story gets an ambulance, traffic chaos at rush hour, articles of clothing being cut off and all I got out of it was some entonox and morphine plus a spinal board and umpteen x rays and CT scans.

Some drivers need to wake up, put their brains in gear and use their eyes whilst driving a lethal weapon. I can't believe the bike escaped with only minimal damage but sorry to hear our hero wasn't quite so lucky.

"That's going to cost the NHS a lot of money".

As said by my new doctor on actually seeing how many pills / things I need on my prescription.

Yes I know I get it all free but I tell you'd I'd rather not have any of it (and not need it) and pay for my prescriptions.

I did get it all but she didn't like it it seems
