I haven't been in the quiet corner for ages. Just thought I'd pop in to tell you about what I'll be up to over the next two days. Tomorrow I'm on a near starvation diet. Two sachets of dreaded Picalax lurk in the cupboard. After breakfast, I take sachet no1, and after cottage cheese for lunch, I take sachet no2...resulting in some distressing to-ing and fro-ing to the bathroom. By the close of day I shall have an exceedingly sore bot, and feel just a wee bit grim. At 8am on Monday, we set off for hospital in Oban. I then have a colonoscopy...after which, I'm given a cup of tea and a biscuit. If all goes well, we'll then do a Tesco shop, and have some lunch. Nice! Been through this procedure before, so know what to expect. Following Friday, weather permitting, we go to Gartnaval hospital in Glasgow for a second procedure. Early January we return to RA hospital in Paisley for the third and final procedure. In March, back to RA to be told results of tests and whether or not anything can be done to fix the problem that has blighted my life for far too long.
If you do not hear from me for a wee while, it is not because I've forgotten you. Far from it
