Hospital update

More starvation diet today - clear fluids until midday.

Got to the hospital, answered their questions, completed the forms, sat around for a while.

They did the scope with gas-and-air only! - no needles. It was darn uncomfortable, but I preferred it to an IV. They removed one polyp, which looked fairly normal.

More sitting around, cup of weak cool sweet tea, then released. Creatrix, the darling, had brought along some biscuits, and I got a Ribena and a Twix from the hospital shop; then home to real tea. Creatrix is now cooking our steaks, and our very own small crop of new potatoes.

Thank you everyone for all your hugs, support &c. You are good people!

Thanks. The gas and air didn't seem to do a great deal for me - I ahte to think how bad the pain would have been without it.

I'm fine now - tired, but that's probably the weather, and my complete and utter lack of exercise, as much as anything else. I haven't bled since then, which is good, but it's early days to say whether it has effected a cure.
