Gone in

I asked if I could watch Rosie's angiogram from somewhere but they have a policy of saying no because they think family members are going to freak out. They don't realise I have a very high tolerance for and even fascination with gory details!

Anyway, after I asked twice, I gave up gracefully and came back to the room where I've started to tackle all the red pieces nobody else could face previously.


Rosie went in at 9:34 and they told me to come back in 45 minutes. She accepted the offer of a sedative since she's a little bit apprehensive about her first angiogram without general anaesthetic. She was also concerned about getting a headache because she will be lying down flat for the first time since surgery. Luckily, because this is a very specific angiogram to check up on the AVM area rather than a full diagnostic one, it's quite short. The doctor estimated 40 minutes.
