What I've been forgetting to tell you ...

... is that I went to the hospital last Wednesday, for a consultation. He carried out a digital examination and a sigmoidoscopy, and said he could see nothing wrong except piles. However, given my medical history, there might be a polyp, and so he would arrange a colonoscopy for 10 July. So I've got (a) fasting and prep, (b) an IV, and (c) a big tube being stuck up my bottom to look forward to. Hugs, manly shoulder pats, chocolate etc all appreciated.

I am pleased I am going to have it done (well, sort of!); but it was a pointless appointment really, because I could have told him that I had piles and that I needed a colonoscopy. Thinking about it, I suppose he might have found something very wrong, and admitted me there and then.

It was only after I got home that I remembered that we are going to be away the weekend before that, so I will need to re-arrange the appointment.

Sorry to hear you've got to go back again for more prodding and poking :-( *hugs*

Thanks for the other books, they arrived yesterday, I haven't had a chance to look through them yet, but they look very interesting.

Thanks. Hope you enjoy the books. There's no hurry for getting them back to us (and, in some cases, no need to send them back at all).
