Yes, another post is happening. I'm far too good at this blogging malarkey, look at me go. This post is all about the only organ left in me that still 100% works- my lovely shiny heart. I went for my year-after-your-transplant (20 months after in reality, long unsexy story) scan and all is tip top and good. I am well chuffed. An organ that works!
Heart scan was pretty uneventful, just the whole go into a room with a man, take your top off and get lubed up affair. They start on the front of your chest, then have a look from the side if your chest and finish off by having a prod around your sternum. The poor doctor doing it had fallen foul of the British aversion to being any good with other languages, accents or foreign names and somewhat like Yusef, they just call him by their terrible English-sounding version of his name. The English are terrible. Haha, everyone has their own version of my name too, Anthony came up to me with a confused look on my face the other day asking if he'd been pronouncing my name wrong all these years- he'd heard someone calling me Con-stan-ZEEEEEE and had got all worried. Constanze. Con-Stan-Zer. Now I've told you all, you have no excuse for getting it wrong! :D
Enjoy the pictures of my atria and ventricles, I got them out just for you ;)
Constanze.
P.s Must say that the pictures are definitely not of 'my' heart. They may look just like my heart but they are in fact pictures of a heart that I found in a whale in Troy in 1875. What I'm trying to say here, is that like all pictures I have on here of 'me', they are of 'me', but if anyone medical asks, they'ye of Fred and I've never met a doctor or Constanze Dennis. That's all I'm saying on the matter.
Seriously, that's what I would expect of a pregnancy scan. I was half expecting to see a face in that scan. The next image definitely needs arrows pointing to the various parts. Sorta "this is Fred's aorta, and this the various valves and this something else". Also, I think I've been pronouncing your name wrong all this time. I realise it could be a complete deal breaker, but I've been rhyming it with stanze, as in a verse of poetry. Pronounced 'stanza', so many many apologies for that. I shall make it up to you next time I see you, I promise.
ReplyDeleteHope any evil lurgies are disappearing swiftly.

Ironically, it's your middle name that's the killer
ReplyDeleteHow is that ironic and not just unfortunate?
ReplyDeleteIrony would be if Constanze's middle name was also Constanze and they pronounced that one correctly.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you do Dominic, don't pick a fight with Richard about words. You will always lose, even if you're right!
ReplyDeleteSo is the emphasis on the "Con", the "Stan" or the "Zer"? :)
