This is for anyone who can't keep on the topic. It's hard not to stray, but if we have 'no specific topic ' we can't go off topic.
It is good just to be able to wander and talk about other things.
I could have named it 'Waffle'. Then I couldn't go off topic.
Brian, I see you had your first Radiation session yesterday. How did it go? Was it as you thought it might be?
Good little me here didn't use anyone else's thread. Can't upset the powers that be.
At the end of my 20 fractions of VMAT Radiation I really missed going to the hospital every day. It was a case of being glad, and sad at the same time.
Now I am just "sad".
So that's 1 down 19 to go.

Morning Steve. It was great thanks. All the anticipation and worrying wasn’t necessary. The staff were fantastic and I had I reet proper explanation of the procedure.
I know where you are coming from, it’s almost a social event in the waiting room!!
19 to go and to be honest I am looking forward to them!! Am I sad??
Yes I did go off topic on another thread. Now on the naughty step.
Have a great weekend.

Gina,. I had my falls clinic appointment yesterday. They done a few tests, want to do a brain scan to try to see the causes of the falls. Also a full MRI on my back, physio and discuss walking aids.
Much more thorough than I thought it might be.

That's good to hear - not that you have to go to the falls clinic but that they were so thorough.
Agree with freefaller - looks like you are having a full MOT - let's hope they get you sorted.
Kind Regards - Brian.

Wow, that is good all the tests. Did they breathalise you too, to see why you are falling . Hopefully they changed your oil too!!
Wonder what they are looking for in the brain scan which would be related to falling. Did they say what in the brain they were specifically looking at?
