I'm booked in for a brain scan tomorrow, hope they find one.........but if they don't it will explain a lot.

[HappyHammer]

Good luck with it Termite.;)

[Gumby]

I had a colonoscopy yesterday (absolutley true). No brain down there either. :D

[craigb]

Good luck with it Termie.

I had a CT scan once. It's quite a bizarre experience as you lie on the slider thingy and get slid into this space machine type gizmo. ;)

The good thing is that it doesn't hurt.

Hope all goes well.

[ozwinner]

Dont forget to wear your foily.

Al :D

[Sturdee]

I'm booked in for a brain scan tomorrow, hope they find one.........but if they don't it will explain a lot.

[outback]

Himzo.

[scooter]

What's a starter ? :confused: :confused:

Ignore Zed, Craig, he's just trying to crank up Termite :rolleyes:

[craigb]

Ignore Zed, Craig, he's just trying to crank up Termite :rolleyes:

Yeah, I know. :D

I'd still like to know what a starter is though.

Does he mean an entree? :confused:

[chrisb691]

What's a starter ? :confused: :confused:

Viagra I think. :)

[Cliff Rogers]

I'm with Himzo, why?
Nothing serious I hope, or is it just in the name of medical science? :D

[E. maculata]

Go on stun those smarmy medicos with your perfect health and huge....... brain, or is that brian;) .
Look at me I've got a great big Brian:o .

[johnc]

Must be woodies scan time, I headed off for an ultra sound last week and I'm not pregnant if anyone asks. The bulk of these tests seem to aimed at eliminating possibilities hope yours is the same.

Goodluck,
John.

[echnidna]

Goodluck John

[journeyman Mick]

Hope all goes well. Take along your favourite relaxing music CD, they'll usually play whatever you bring. If it's an MRI it will be a bit noisy and last for 40 mins or so. Wife has them very often :( .

Mick

[ernknot]

Good luck Termite, hope all goes well for you.

[Zed]

a starter is a bread related yeast culture grower.. bread makers covet their starter. I covet Termites...:D

[RufflyRustic]

Thinking of you today Termite

Cheers
Wendy

[Christopha]

Mate, I hope the head job comes to nothing ;) all the best young fella!

[craigb]

Mr Sourdough Termite. :)

[ptc]

Hope all goes well for you.

[Phil Spencer]

I'm booked in for a brain scan tomorrow, hope they find one.........but if they don't it will explain a lot.

Good luck Termite make sure they scan the right end.:)

Phil

[Wongo]

All the best Bill.:)

[Daddles]

Have fun with your scan mate.

My last one was ... interesting. It was an ultrasound ... of the umm scrotum. Ya see, I'd developed a cyst on the tubes. Looks like I've got three of them bally things down there. No, I'm not bragging, just getting to the point of this story which was that the scan, being ultrasound, required the gadget to be pressed against the area, and moved around, and that umm various bits of equiptment had to be held out of the way by the medico, and that medico just happened to be in her early twenties and an utter stunner :o

I maintained my dignity, but the memory lingers

Richard

[Termite]

Thanks for all the wishes folks, deadline is 3 hours time. The problem is that I appear to have a severe balance problem, yes yes I know I've been unstable for years, the situation has not responded to the usual treatments for an inner ear infection. Further investigation has shown that pressure is being applied to the relevant mechanism from an internal source, and they are going looking for the source of pressure, to be quite honest shirts is trumps at the moment.

[silentC]

We'll have to stop telling you what a great bloke you are, your head is swelling ;)

All the best mate. Let us know how you get on.

[Felder]

All the best, Termite.....

[Daddles]

deadline is 3 hours time.

Never use the term 'deadline' when talking medical stuff :eek: :D

Richard

I always recommend a bottle of good scotch for all illness - it may not cure the problem but at least you enjoy being sick;)

[meerkat]

Richard

I hope you didn't poke fun at her ;):eek::D

[Cliff Rogers]

Damn... a friend up here has that, he has a small tumor behind his ear, it isn't growing at present but if they operate he will end up deaf in that ear & it's his good ear. :eek:

[AlexS]

Hope all is well Bill, you have a lot of mates here thinking of you.

[Termite]

Results will be available 10AM tomorrow. They will have a sticker on them saying "To be opened by treating doctor only". Yeh, sure. ;)

[Zed]

mate the reason they say that is so if it reads "non malignant wattery mass etc" you wont get disturbed (ie you might misinterpret anything says and get upset for nought)... read it then google the terms you dont know... then go to the doc.... tell him "Dont bullshirt me mate, give it to me straighrt, IM A MAN I TELLS YA!!!)

you'll be fine... how will you collect your felder saws otherwise ... oops almost let that one out didnt I ?:rolleyes:

[journeyman Mick]

Bill,
chances are that the results won't even be in with the scans, often they're emailed or faxed to the doctor or they are on a disc that comes with the scans. If on disc then they're not readable by anything but the proprietry program that created them.:(

Mick

[Daddles]

The sealed packet will just have a note that says - we told you not to open this :D

Richard

[himzol]

Results will be available 10AM tomorrow. They will have a sticker on them saying "To be opened by treating doctor only". Yeh, sure. ;)

As specialist I work for sometimes said "it's your body"! If you want to read by all means. good luck!

Himzo.

[Wongo]

Did they upgrade your memory?:D

[Termite]

Well the good news is that, contrary to popular belief, I do have a brain and all is normal. The bad news is that I aparently have an infection that is not responding to the normal antibiotics so the hunt is on for one that will work.

Thank you all for your well wishes and support, it has been much appreciated.

[silentC]

Mate that is great news. Well, not about the infection. But you know what I mean. Beers all round!! :)

[craigb]

Good one Bill. :)

[Wongo]

Good news Termite.:)

Hey Chinese medicine might be the go. Come to see me and let me try a few things. There is nothing we can't fix you know.:cool:

[arose62]

I saw on TV the other night that Chinese herbs made old people pregnant!!

Cheers,
Andrew

[Wongo]

Exactly!!

Who needs a man.:p

[echnidna]

Exactly!!

Who needs a man.:p

So are you telling us your swmbo doesn't need you. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Termite]

I saw on TV the other night that Chinese herbs made old people pregnant!!Cheers,Andrew
Well I was going to give Wongo a visit until I read this. :eek:

[meerkat]

Fantastic news.:D

[ptc]

happy it was good news.
not a termite hole in sight.

[outback]

Good news Termiote.

Hey, I was watching four corners the other noight, regarding HIV in Papua New Guinea, they had an old witch doctor who gave out bark and roots and stuff as a cure. When asked if it worked he said it must, the people never came back. :eek: Anyway, just a thought.

[Gumby]

That's great Termite. Hope they clear the infection up too.

;)

[echnidna]

Apparently Wallaby milk contains something that's far more effective than penicillin etc and works where conventional antibiotics fail. :eek:

So go catch a wallaby with a joey, stick yer head in mum's pouch and sniff up a headfull of wallaby milk. ;) ;)

Dont forget.....female wallaby.....milkin the male doesnt care thinking about:p

[AlexS]

Glad the news was relatively good, hope the infection clears up soon.

[scooter]

Glad to hear things are relatively OK, Termite, hope the infection clears up soon.
