I can see why you may worry but look at it another way. You have medics who care enough to chase things up and you are being given tests to ensure you receive the best treatments. Don't go looking for trouble. It will find you when it has to! x

I can understand why you might be worried such confusion! My advise don't worry it will achieve nothing just make you feel ill!! Wait for the scan and let us know how it goes. Try to have a good weekend TAD xx

Don't worry Billy. Take TAD's advise.Something may have been found it is being acted upon quickly. As my Son says quicker found quicker sorted. It may yet be nothing.

I am hoping all will go well for you Billy with the CT scan and so hope those ribs will soon be healing.

I know its difficult but try not to worry, hopefully the docs between them will have sorted it out, as has been said its good they are checking things out.

Keep in touch and know we are all thinking of you.

Take good care of yourself, keep warm and stay as relaxed as you can.

Best wishes BC
