Just as I left the ward yesterday afternoon, one of the nurses said 'You know about your appointment tomorrow', No, 'You have an appointment at 11:00 in nuclear medicine.'
Now this turned out to be the 'V' part of the VQ scan. I had the same girl and mentioned that I had got mixed up, and she said the the Angiogram people had rung her just to check, before doing the Angiogram. The 'V' stands for ventilation, this part of the test I had to breath a medical gas with some radioactive isotope added to it for five minutes. This is where it was very confusing as I had been told this part of the test had to be done by a specialist coming from Guildford!, but there you go.
After the breathing I went into the same room as before and had very similar pictures taken with the same machine.
On a good note I did walk into the hospital from the bottom of the hill and did not have to much of breathing problem, so things are looking up. I have also just popped into the surgery with a prescription. I thought I had everything when I left the hospital but these I had forgotten that I had run out of.
