hi guys back from the hospital and just to clear something up which I posted in earlier this month.someone said that the appointment was you have sticky pads on your body and someone said it was where they put jelly on you.well I was surprised they done both to me.I had to strip to the waist and put the gown on and lie on the couch on my side.they then stuck 3 pads on my body and also put jelly on my tummy and under my breast,that is when I had a stick thing (sorry don't know what it's called)rub over my body.I have now got to wait a week before I have the results.x

I have just been to my doctors and had an ECG. I have had terrible chest pains all weekend, worse than usual. Everything was fine so I guess it was just caused with the extra stress I had last week. x

Annie your gp sounds like my gp.he goes out of his way sometimes,and never pushes you out if you have run over your time.if fact it's me that says I'm taking to much of your time.he even talks to me on the phone if I have got a concern over medication.after surgery that is.x

My doctors are brilliant Jean, I can't fault them at all. They never make me feel like I am rushing them and will visit me at home if I am too anxious to leave the house x
