Maybe take some favourite snacks with you, to hospital.
I will watch for your posts.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray
I've got to take 6 tablets of bicarbonate of soda every 3 hours 'til tomorrow.I know this is to make my urine alkaline and flush out the methotrexate quickly but it seems an excessive amount. I've googled what taking large amounts of bicarbonate can do and it doesn't make for good reading.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray
I didn't sleep very well, but am all packed up and ready to go. My stuff fits in to 2 large bags, quite heavy but at least I won't be carrying them around much.Come 11:30 I'll phone a taxi. I'll still post on this thread but perhaps not so much others. It's just a pain typing on my phone even though it has a large screen. If they had wi-fi I'd probably take my laptop with me. But I've got plenty of books downloaded, a couple of movies and, of course, my music - couldn't do without my tunes.
I can't decide whether or not to take my expensive watch or a cheaper one. The Monaco has barely been off my wrist since I bought it a few weeks ago.
My phone is charged and I'll take my Bluetooth earphones with me - that means I just need the 2 cables.
