So ,following my first outpatients appointment last week, I expected a letter possibly this week or next,with an appointment for an MRI scan or something similar. Instead,48 hours after that appointment, I got a call from the MRI department saying I had been referred and could I come in at 9am the next day!! Of course I jumped (I wish it was literally, but due to the pain I was in,it was an imaginary jump)

All went well at the scan,unless you count being unable to breath in for the alloted time as it hurt to much. I was sent on my way with the generic "Outpatients will be in touch with an appointment"

Good old NHS,love or hate them. Right now I'm still loving them as soon far so good.

Ask me at the end of the week when, if I've not heard anything following my scan and I've called outpatients myself and got nowhere and I may not be feeling so positive.

Day 11 and whoop whoop the pain only appears when I have to push or pull anything heavier than a bag of sugar. Oh and not to mention when I sneeze or have what I call a very deep yawn.

I'm determined not to let this gallstone thingy get the better of me.
