A visit to the A & E

We paid a visit to the A&E this morning arriving there about 9:45am, we left about 1: 00pm . Tony has been having problems with his back and legs for about 3 maybe 4 weeks now.

 It all started when he was trying to murder a bush in the garden, yes you heard me right, murder a bush. Tony had managed to cut the bush down to a size he thought he could finally handle. He put his foot against the bush, pushed to uproot it, the bush fought back, it was bush against man, as the bush felt it's roots leaving the earth it gave a mighty push back, Tony fell backwards and landed flat on his back on the ground. Tony hurt his back but he had succeeded in murdering the bush!

Anyhow back to A&E Tony was seen by 3 doctors, prodded and poked, sent for an x-ray and the outcome of this was :-
Doctor number 1 said
 he had a small abnormality (well we all knew that ) at the bottom of his spine, so he would need an MRI. So he would need to get his GP to refer him for that.
Doctor number 2 said
the x-ray was fine but he would write to his GP asking him to refer him for an MRI just to make sure everything was fine, then gave Tony some painkillers to help with the pain.
Doctor number 3 said
it is a muscle problem that Tony should take the painkillers plus some more painkillers he named and see his GP if it didn't improve.
I wonder if this is the little abnormality? Tony's "cheeky" tattoo.

 I feel a warm bath, hot chocolate, a cookie and a good book calling!
