Appointment 09.30 at hospital. I've spoken with the specialist for at least ten minutes before she and the nurse examined me thoroughly. Had to have a scan made, according to the scan specialist all seems fine. Have to call next Monday to make another appointment to discuss the results of the scan. Then I will have to make a third appointment to have a biopsy done under general anaesthesia. Again, for the second time in this life, I will be brain-dead for a few hours... Not sure what to think of that...

Oh yeah do pass me some anaesthetic please! Left or right?:

A very nice lady made the scan with a probe explaining everything that she saw on the monitor to me. It was awesome! I've never seen it before and what looked to me like early-black-and-white-television-picture-noise seemed to make total sense to her. What an amazing job she's got *this is the geek talking*.

While I dressed up again in some silly blue and white checked hospital dressing gown I had a quick look at the prints and asked her if I could have one. She asked me why out of curiosity, I told her it was my geek personality being amazed by her knowledge and/of technology. So yeah, she gave me a print and I was grinning like a Cheshire cat when I left the room. Proudly showing the print to A. who had no clue and probably thought it was just some b/w tv picture noise...

Will keep you posted but will leave you for now since I still suffer from a few examinations... I reckon you won't mind, I had enough Alice in Wonderland for today!

Some cool noise:


Noticeable Oddities of the Day:
I've never seen a hospital like this with such a high standard of efficiency and such nice people. In fact every hospital I've ever been to over the last 15 years left me frustrated, without being given any answers to questions and with a waiting list of at least three months... Today I have seen two specialists and had a scan done [without an appointment] while I originally only had one appointment with one specialist. This would have taken at least three months in the Lowlands!

I've never been treated at a hospital the way I was treated today, these people were so kind and willing to help. No grumpy cows like some women at hospitals in the Lowlands *pardon my French*, I reckon these people actually love their job and it shows!!! Even A. noticed the difference, no he isn't biased because he's English. I will have to make another appointment for the surgery so I will definitely go there again. For once in my life I have left a hospital with a positive feeling. Hurray for the UK!

ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....]

Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!
