Tuesday 14th April 2026

We were up early as my appointment at Kent and Canterbury Hospital was 9am but I had to be there half an hour before. Mal came with me and we booked an Uber as I was told I couldn’t drive straight afterwards.

I didn’t have long to wait and I have to say the staff were really lovely. But they had to put a cannula in to put more Omnipaque in my body. Three attempts in one arm to get the needle in and then she gave in and put it in my hand!  A very weird sensation their preparation and then the scans.

She then took me to the toilet, to get dressed. As soon as I came out she had a sandwich, packets of biscuits and a cup of tea ready for me. What service. Mal shared some of this as he hadn’t had breakfast! When they said I could leave, we called another Uber to take us home.

It was such a lovely day Mal suggested as I had been starving, we should go for a late lunch at The Bell. It was just so nice sitting in their garden, sun out, Ellie very relaxed. A nice way to spend the afternoon.

In the evening we caught up with “Ben Fogle in China”. It certainly makes you think!
