Damn, the ENT man has a lisp... what's he saying?
Appointment today with the ENT man.
The appointment was set for 10:45 but the waiting room was rammed packed full of the elderly and the not so elderly and so I didn't get seen until 11. In that time I had the wonderful pleasure of watching 'Homes Under The Hammer' on a massive TV, just how many people actually enjoy this type of drivel?!
The appointment lasted no more than three minutes - I kid ye not. Here's what happened:
1 - I was sat down, noticed a trainee gawping at me from the corner - lovely!
2 - ENT man began to speak, at this point I realised that he had a lisp - the kind where the tongue takes up the mouth and it's really hard to understand the resultant speech, I didn't clock a word of what he said so "Pardon? I didn't catch that - what did you say?"
3 - ENT man, on his wheely chair scooted the 5 feet from his desk and sat RIGHT NEXT TO ME, as in - our knees were touching - and explained, a lot more clearly the following things...
Huzzah!
Let's celebrate with Gaga!

- I have been booked in for an MRI and CAT scan, both to ascertain that my inner ears and skull in implanted area are suitable - ie no damage or ossification.
- I shall be receiving communications from Manchester. I couldn't bear to tell him that I'd already looked up the process so knew what to expect - he was looking at me so earnestly I just nodded along and smiled.
Huzzah!
