C.T Scan

Yestereday (9th May) I went to L,G,I for my C.T. scan with contrast dye put in, It was a strange feeling, not helped by the fact that it was very hot outside and that made me faint nearly. I went all light headed and had to lie down  in the chair as the nurses were putting the canular into my hand. 

Once in and i had regained compusre I went to the C.T room was strapped up with electrolodes and within 10mins the scan was over, and the dye had been put in, which felt warm and strange with a slight sting at the begining. 

Next month is the meeting with my surgeons. Waiting for a letter now for a date for the meeting.

I stayed in hospital for 3 weeks and  was told  that as an adult I would require further surgery. Fast forward 30yrs and 3 days after my 40th birthday I received  a call from my Hospital L.G.I in Leeds that it was time for my next operation. This operation is going to be to replace my Aortic Valve and Aortic Root. I discovered this problem back in 2013 after a routine apt at my local Hospital Calderdale Royal in Halifax. I was referred to the cardiology specialist at Leeds who took over my case. It was found that my Aorta was large and they kept an eye on it for the next 5yrs.
