Wins and Losses! Part 1

Put the Cagiva's photo first as it is much prettier than the rest!

So , every 6 months I am supposed to go in to theatre for a very extensive Cancer checkup, as a result of being diagnosed with Bladder Cancer in 2011 .

FG calls me a few weeks ago and asks me why I have not been again?

, as I was last there in January 2018? ( FG is my Favourite Daughter, Shakira) who promptly makes an appointment for me for for the 23rd ( last Friday)

I get a call from the Doctor's rooms , they want me to go for a CT scan on the Wednesday prior, This entails me having to go to Dr van Rensburg's rooms ( the X-Ray dept) to pick up some Goo I have to drink, one at 0600 and another at 1200 before going for the Scan,have to be there at 1300hrs , go on the Cagiva. get there early .( Thank Heavens)

Cannot find Dr Bell's rooms . This is at Flora clinic, they have done quite a few modifications.

Go to main reception , only one lady behind the many counters ( reminds me of a Bank) Earnestly talking on the 'phone.

Try walking around the building, come back, still on the phone! After 20 minutes a nurse directs me , to the Rooms, to pick up the papers and then rush off to the X-Ray section

Chris ( my wife) had warned me not to leave any valuables around as in South Africa ,we have lots of very enthusiastic memorabilia collectors!They do this without permission ?,

I believe in other countries they are called Thieves and Criminals?

So I ask one of the Ladies at the Reception area if I can leave my Helmet, Jacket, and Bag, with her?, affirmative.

While waiting to be called I start making my usual facetious comments, and among the Banter, I ask ," How long have you People been here?"

" About 8 years ." I hear.

Then I brought the House Down with ,"Then why do you have a tie rail for Horses?"

Strangely enough , not only the Patients ( name comes from how long they keep you waiting) but also the Staff were in stitches, which after all ,was my aim!

Finally get called to a cubicle where I take off my clothes, and put on a rather fetching red robe.

I was asked if I was Mr. Pritchard, to which my answer was, " Do you have a Burger for Him?" No!

A while later ,was I Mr. Booysen, to which I replied in the same manner.

Next, 2 separate staff Members told me( individually) I could get dressed and go home , as I was done:-

I know I have a Bad Memory , but surely I would remember this?

Eventually like a lamb to the Slaughter I am led to the room with the CT machine which looks like an MRI Machine ( I watch House) which has been on a serious diet!

See you soon with Part 2 and some more wit and wisdom!
