Hi Maggs

Sorry I wasn't clear if you are getting the scan done because of the MS and the whole Zamboni procedure or if you are having it done coincidentally for other reasons.

Either way I wish you luck with it and will be interested to hear how you get on.

I hope you had a good hogmanay and that you are not snowed in!
