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

Back to school!

Hi. Sorry I haven't blogged recently since I have just gone back to school. Now I have some time off to tell you how I'm getting on. First, I'm going to tell you about my birthday. It was a bit of a disaster because I woke up in the middle of the night to find balloons everywhere on my bedroom floor. Of course, I was meant to wake up in the morning and have a surprise but.... However, I had a great time going to The Cricketers and, of course, opening my presents. For my party I went to the cinema to watch the Bratz movie with five of my friends. I'm starting L2G this year, and it is turning out much better than last year. But sadly I'm still getting those headaches! Its odd really. We can't work out why I'm still getting them. But I'm having another MRI scan in a week's time which is a bit scary. Guess what? The first week we went back I was "Star of the week"! Love, SOPHIE XXX
