Tests!!!

Appointment yesterday at the hospital for a Colonoscopy. Great fun...Not!! two days of low residue foods, followed by a severe laxative preparation for three days. Absolutely horrible, i would sooner give birth again than go through that. Hospital staff all very nice, but it is still hugely embarrassing and it's no wonder why people don't go with their bot problems! Apparently the result is diverticulitis , but God knows what I'm supposed to do about that. Shall have to resort to the old google to find out maybe. See the gp in about two weeks and and a follow up appointment in January.
Poor Saint VT has put up with a lot over the last week, he has the patience of Job that man. Backwards and forwards to the hospital, to say nothing of the upheaval in the house. What a gent!
One bright light in the horizon is that I have lost about four pounds this week. Like VT says, always look on the bright side of life!
Jane rang up today to say she was tired..she doesn't know the half of it! she is off to the Trafford hospital tomorrow to do a placement in the radiology department, she did one at Christies in Manchester the other day for Radiotherapy, and loved it so she seems at long last to have a career path lined up.
Tonight we are having:
not really sure..something light for moi at the moment.
Maybe something with rice then VT could have a chilli perhaps.
He had a Waitrose macaroni cheese last night and a vegetable lasagne the night before,We shall have to look through the freezer.

popped home last night from our caravan as we particularly froze to death the night before!! so enjoyed a nice warm sleep in my own bed last night and will do so tonight and then will venture back to to caravan to finish off our holiday!! LOL (and we call this fun)
glad you got your tests over and done with - it's a case of hanging your pride up on the door on the way in and picking it up again on the way out!! not had one of those tests but hubby has and 'yes' not a pleasant experience.
enjoy 'whatever' you decide to eat this evening :))) take care, Judith
