a brilliant scan

Guess what guys - today I had my MRI scan at Great Ormond Street. Before the scan I also saw the Endocrinologist's assistant at UCL for a chat, which was just to check everything was ok. But the main thing that I want to talk about is my scan. Usually I scream the place down when they do the contrast injection but today this is what happened: half way through the scan I came out of the machine as normal and they took off the tape which holds the cream in place. Then she said they would use the left hand for the injection. I gave her my hand, she wiped it clean and then squeezed it to bring up the vein. I took a moment to compose myself and then let her do the injection. I was thrilled how well it went! Lots of love, Sophie xx

Well, what a girl. No screams hey! I'm very proud of you. Well done! Hope the results when they come through are encouraging too and that by the end of all these tests and check-ups you're having they can get to the bottom of your headaches.

And you're a star on the school open day poster as well!

Heaps of love, Jo xxx

P.S. Love the photo of you, Jack and your mum. It would look good in some fashion magazine.

Hey Sophie...
Glad to hear that about the injection. I normally scream when I have an injection too!
