Dexa Scan

Just in case anyone has a 2 yearly dexa scan like me, you need to book it well in advance. I was due one in May but left it till July because of covid. It's come through for Christmas Eve!! Yippee, I will be well organised, so not a problem. 😁👍

I had an MRI very near Christmas. The hospital was quiet and oddly magical. I hope your bones are just as they should be!

We enjoyed the xmas/new year period - only the grateful turned up for their tests! I remember a patient ringing to say in a horrified tone "this must be wrong, you've given me an appointment for Christmas Eve". Correct - we are here. Until 5pm :)
