Ah, that vote thing ... what's it all about then?

I need to look into all that

There are no tomorrows left.

I got my biopsy results this morning.

The nurse giving me the results runs through the entire procedure, why I had been called in for a biopsy (in detail) what they had biopsied, and so on. All in terms suitable for a four-year-old. After 10 minutes of this, and still waiting for the results, I was getting a bit impatient. I quite wanted to know whether I had cancer, and I was well aware already of what the procedure had been. So I asked her just to level with me. She looked really upset. Presumably, all the other patients let her run through her presentation until she feels it is exactly the right moment to give the results. I think she must watch too many competition programmes on the television "and the winner is………….Incredibly long pause…….".

In the end, she muttered under her breath that all of the biopsy samples were clear.

What a huge relieve for you and yours....When my Husband got his good news...the surgeon phoned it through to us at home in Bexhill...appointment results was a week away at least...He had his last biopsy check here in Niort recently and was in the hospital for the best part of a day...then results straight afterwards delivered verbally by the surgeon....BW Dianne

Mary married Peter Goley on 17 September 1752 at Saint Anne Soho, Westminster, London

Other random finds to chuck into the mix/thought:

A Mary Goley married in 1776 (Saint Martin In The Fields) ... if that were the widowed sister remarrying, then maybe new hubby didn't want the child she'd got....

My money wouldn't be on this, but you have to chuck ideas around and spot opportunities.

will look into to this later when its too hot outside.....extending our wood barn at the moment....posts in place now concrete to purchase.... thanks for that info....BW Dianne

Great news! But, what a waste of time. She should've told you that before your bum hit the seat!!!

Wonderful news gdb.

I guess the breaking it gently if there is a problem doesn't work if everyone knows that if there isn't a problem you will be told instantly...

I started three threads last night to say why I am voting the way I will.

No thunder here last night but pretty constant rain, and a repeat performance due early evening when dd1 is supposed to be performing in an al fresco school play :eek:

That has made me very angry.
Are nurses now being trained by cold call sellers, with a spiel they have to wade through, before delivering the punch-line?

If that had been me, I would have been thinking the worst.
Might be worth a complaint, not directed at that specific nurse, who was probably only doing what she had been instructed to do, but at the system that thought that kind of training would be a good idea.

Why not just say the results were clear, give you a moment to digest that, and then recap on what they'd done?

Thunderstorm overhead! Huge flashes of lightning.

EDIT: 40 minutes on and it's still thunder/lightning!

I must have slept through the thunder and lightning. I remember hearing rain, but not the booms and cracks.




There are a lot of young foxes about at the mo. Two days ago, returning home about 10.15 PM, I had to slow right down and then stop for a young fox who was terrified of the cars, running across the road and panicking.

This morning was funny! I was waiting outside the polling station about two minutes before they opened, engaged in idle chitchat with the bod in front of me, when a fox, (an adult one) came out from between the buildings, suddenly stopped, looked at the queue of people, seemed baffled, then retraced its steps back between the buidings.
The look on its face said, "What the fox is going on? It's usually so peaceful here at this time of the morning! :rotfl::rotfl:

:j:j Pleased for you.

I once had a mammogram and the consultant pinned the x-ray pic onto the projector thingy and asked me what I thought! I said to me it looked like a skewif map of the world. he then digressed into which splodges could represent which countries and I eventually interupted him to ask if it was clear. he replied that it all looked like fairly normal breast tissue to him, did i see anything different? Didn't fill me with confidence at the time.

Didn't think you thought like that. That's what I was going to do.

Thunder and lightning most of the night, not constant but enough to disturb sleep....it's pretty much peed it down since midnight.

Crumbs! How strange!
I've had some training in radiology, but not the sort that would necessarily enable me to differentiate between healthy breast tissue and iffy changes, so even I would need it spelled out!




SingleSue, your signature tells me what your eldest son's diagnosis is, but I can't remember, or never knew, what your other sons have.
