Friday… PET scan 15!
May 19th 2006PeterPost Hospital
Not a lot to report really although it was good to see the team from the PET centre again. The scan itself was much like all the others (with two notable differences) but the ‘exciting’ bit will be the results next Thursday. However I have a warm feeling about that!
But I said that there were differences in the procedure! One was that I was filmed by City Hospital for more footage for the ‘feature’ they have been doing over the last few months. This should be screened next Friday – the last in the current series. I went up to the City Hospital offices during my visit, where apart from seeing Rachel, I bumped into (name dropping here) Nadia Sawalha who is presenting the current series and who interviewed me a couple of years ago.
The second difference was that the PET centre seems to have had a new delivery of up-to-the-minute, latest chic, catwalk-hot hospital gowns. You may know the sort I mean – the shapeless ones that are oversize with lots of tie tapes that tie at the back (usually missing) and stamped “For hospital use only” (to prevent the removal of these high fashion items by patients!) Anyway – these were new, had all the ties, so I could walk down the coridoors and be filmed with some semblance of modesty – although after three transplants, there isn’t much modesty left!
Other than that it was an uneventful day, although it was pretty cold up in London – but then come to think of it, it isn’t that much better at home – where it is raining too!
