isn't the NHS wonderful

Finally had my liver ultrasounded yesterday - a mere five weeks - after my doctor sent me for them. I only have to wait another week or so for the result - but as there is some shiny areas - I will have to have a liver biopsy - which means the medical dart champion - hits me on the side with a pointy thing - which will certainly have a Latin name - and steal a bit of my liver - not enough to go with onions - I hope. This will take at least a century to organise - so I will almost certainly have to pay for the treatment myself.

Talking of the ultrasound - should I set it up as a webcam site - as everyone else seems to be doing it these days - so lonely, but bored housewife of Arkansas tells me - virtually every day - in her emails - she wants to show me her friends and her having fun - but that sort of webcam is - after all - only skin deep - so seeing my liver - will - provide some real in depth action.

I was told not to eat for 6 hours before and to drink two pints of water about an hour before. So I'm sitting in the waiting room - wanting to pee - note to people who keep visiting my site - this will not be televised - webcammed - or digitised - I just wanted to go to the gents. Another person in the queue asked the ultra soundist? - ultra sounder? why we need to drink water - and she said it was completely unnecessary for ultra sound - I could have wept - or peeed or peed (gramatically - I'm living on the edge here) as I was next and I had ultrasound session - feeling desperate.

The saga continues...
