The foot is getting better, thanks for asking. I have an appointment for a bone scan at the end of the week and then I have to see the consultant for a follow-up appiontment next week, then hopefully back to work. I've been looking up bone scans on Dr Google and there seems to be some difference between sites. Some say that it is perfectly safe and some say that there is some risk attached. Some say the radiation is little more than a normal x-ray and some (well most actually) say that the radiation is about 200 times an x-ray. I tend to accept the 200 times because that was the figure quoted by my doctor last year when he decided NOT to send me for one over my back pain. He just booked me for a normal x-ray of the lumbar region and then, if necessary, would have requested the bone scan - as the x-ray gave him all the information he needed, we stopped there.
Cutting off a bit short tonight as we are going to our niece's Confirmation service in about an hour and we still have to eat. Oh the joys of being a housewife/cook etc!!!
