Colin's hsopital appointment
I am sure by now that most of you know what has been happening with my partner, Colin's health (weight loss, nausea, intestinal cramps etc). To say it has been a difficult time for both of is an an understatement of the grandest proportions. Anyway, at 11.15 we finally have the hospital appointment we have both been waiting for. We are both naturally a little nervous about what will happen, and what will be said, so any helaing thoughts or prayers would be much appreciated. We will let you know later on how it all went.

Well, its my turn now. I am very scared, very nervous and very uncertain of what wil happen today. I must admit to feeling as if my life is about to change. For the better I hope.
I am now 10st 6lbs. I haven't been that since I was about 13. It is a strange feeling looking at myself in the mirror seeing a very skinny person staring back. Although it was nice at the beginning to loose weight, it has now become a liability. My energy levels are zero and although I can sometimes think about work and do my job it is becoming ever more difficult to think straight. I think perhaps I have now become anorexic, the cycle of fear feeding on the cycle eating badly feeding on the cycle of low self esteem. It is as though my body is still talking to itself wondering if it really is worth continuing to go on. My Soul, well my Soul has decided what it has decided and I feel no part of that decision. I have to face it every morning wondering if the illness is getting better or if I have deal with yet more stuff on top of the stuff there already.
Although I believe I made the choice to experience these things I feel I am on a road, a path, that someone else has laid out for me without my consent. Experiences of childhood forced me down this road of pain and it seems that the choices I made after that were inevitable.
Still lets wait and see what happens today.

Well the appointment wasn't too bad considering, but there are more tests to be done, which neither of us are looking forward to. We had a long chat with the regustrar re what has been happening, and she then examined Colin to see if everything was normal, which it did appear to be. However, she then dropped the bombshell re all the tests they will need to do - another round of blood tests, which they did while we were there, but, they also need to do an ultasound scan, and endoscopy, where they put a camera inside him (from both ends) to see what is going on inside. All his worst fears realised. We will now have to wait for an appointment for both these tests, and once they have been done, make yet another appointment for all the results. This will take 4 - 6 weeks, so my trip to Lundy at the end of October, may be in jepordy, not siomething that I wish to think about much either, especially after what happened last weekend. All we can do for the moment though is wait and see, and be strong for each other.

Hiya
The endoscopy's are quite painless and they will get a sedative for the gastroscopy which means he actually wont remember anything....
I would have thought been familiar with this your trip should be ok, it will take a good couple of weeks to get your appointment and then these tend to be 2-4 weeks afterwards and then another 2 weeks to allow for transfer of information! so hopefully by the time your trip comes around you will just be at the final waiting stage.....
