The first time I spoke to the radiology place I was told I would remain there for "several hours" after the procedure. I rang them today to ask specific details of the rest and recovery period afterwards... And have now been told I will only need to stay there for 10-15 minutes afterwards and only need to rest for the remainder of the day it happens.
I don't know what's stressing me out more - the inconsistency in what I've been told on the phone just now compared to everything else I've read and heard, or the fact that if I do need someone to help for those few days afterwards, I'm really stuffed. DH doesn't have enough annual leave or sick leave, my parents will be in Perth, my sister has her son booked in for swimming lessons in the first week of the school holidays (and they can't be moved to the second week, they are only run in the first week) so can't come and help. Can't even come and help after swimming lessons as they are two hours away. Everyone from church has their older kids with them and has stuff already arranged for the holidays... If I do need help, there's not many people I can ask because it's just so damned inconveniently timed and the anxiety is bad enough with it being a week away, I certainly don't want to put it back another week and stew for even longer!
