Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
I was due to be away with friends next week for the whole week but my young nephew hasn't been well and after speaking with my sister a previous MRI showed up something concerning which is a worry. Another MRI is scheduled next week so I am coming back from the break on Wednesday evening. Ill try and get a quiz on on Friday and then try and get back to normal the following week but please bear with me if the MRI isn't a positive one. Fingers crossed all will be ok.
