The Lost Day...

No blog done yesterday..I had my endoscopy done at Aintree Hospital in the afternoon and the preparation for it was rather dire to say the least!! A large envelope arrived in the post last weekcontaining two lots of sachets of Moviprep. One lot to be taken at seven o'clock the evening before the test after not eating anything from after one o'clock. it is made up into a litre of the most vile tasting liquid and drunk in four glasses over two hours. Then you wait for it to work, which it does very quickly. The second lot is taken at six o'clock in the morning and the same procedure followed. great! It is a really horrible procedure and my test was done at two thirtyish the same day, Tuesday. Since neither of us got any sleep the night before we were completely washed out last night. Watched a couple of things on the tele and went to bed reasonably early. Slept well last night I must say. Poor Vins head was asleep before it touched the pillow. he has been a star..an absolute star. Can't imagine what I would have done without him. So lovely and supportive Bless him. Must admit that I expected a follow up appt yesterday but that didn't come, so now apparently i have to ring the consultants secretary to find out when the appt is!! there seems to be an awful lot of documentation floating around that hospital in cyberspace. Nothing about any of this has been straightforward at all, and it's been going on for around three months now. Patience Jennifer!!! Terrible thunderstorms last night. Sweeping lashing rain and Vin said he saw lightening also. It had been really warm yesterday, most people in sleeveless tops and short sleeved shirts,Vin had dropped me off at the entrance and there were lots of people outside with cups of coffee and cigarettes. I had forgotten just how horrible cigarette smoke is, you have to walk through a fug of it to get to the door! I noticed one woman while I was waiting for Vin to get the car coughing like a banshee and chain smoing!! Good grief..some people never learn. Today we feel like jet lag, it's still all catching up with us..it's like when you come back from America and you aren't used to the different time zone. gradually getting back into the routine again though. The next thing is a blood test on Friday morning and an MRI scan next week on our wedding anniversary! lovely. At least that is straightforward. Tonight we are having: A light pasta dish with a spinach and ricotta sauce Some green vegetables to go with A bit of garlic bread for Vin.
