Wow! That's quick! 4 more days until mine and then the brain probe. Can't hardly wait.
Non-stop hospital fun!
Do they give you any information about what they see while you're there or do you have to talk to your doctor about it?
They don't volunteer anything and the results are passed on to your doctor. Incidentally, for the Cat scan they take about 16-20 shots, moving you out of the machine by about a quarter inch at a time. Ask to clarify when you can and can not swallow. :)
Loads of fun **deadpan*.

My doctor asked that the results be sent to her and to the ENT. Do you think he will have them 2.5 days later? *fingers crossed* When I had my head X-rayed my doctor phoned me that night with the diagnosis and I was amazed at how quickly she received them.

so are you saying I should expect to drool a lot?
3 to 5 days is what they told me. And it's not a drool issue as opposed to an awkward head-angle-thing. Saliva builds and you are not allowed to swallow during a 'photo'. The movement will shift your face/head, mucking up the series of cross-sections they are trying to achieve. You are allowed, don't get me wrong, it's just that they were not overly clear when.

I guess I'll ask them to put a "rush" on it, if possible.
I hope you get fixed up soon E's H!
Good news, all. Leah Trudy is coming for Christmas!!! We'll be tied up at my folks (tradition, you know) until the 26th, but there will be much time for Haligonista gettogetherness after that!

What, you're parents encourage this sort of behavior?
t blinks in amazement
Am I to infer that yours don't?
ELena, that's so cool! When will she be here? I'll be in Sydney until the 27th or the 28th.
You know she's more than welcome to stay at my place when I'm gone (She's just have to deal with the cats)....But that would defeat the purpose of visiting you, I suppose.
Trudy is coming for Christmas!!!
EEEEEEEE! (jumping up and down)
Ahem. That will be lovely, just lovely.
EEEEEEEE!
Hey, is that the sun? Where did that come from? And more importantly, where the hell was it when I walked to the market in the pouring freaking rain?
How's the house hunting 'Ouise?
