I had the cystoscopy.

I was in such a state I didnt realise I was signing for a dilation as well and that hurt like hell. That will teach me to take things more calmly.

The consultant was old school and that is what they did in the bygone days.

I wish I had stuck with the NHS now and I wouldn't be in this state.

I hope he hasn't done any damage - the constipation is a bit worse now.

I know I had to have this done in the end but was it worth all the trauma I went through - having that done then having to sit in the waiting room.

I still don't know if there is anything seriously wrong because he didn't tell me much afterward.

He got my gfr reading wrong and gave me yet another sleepless night

I shall stick with my NHS team now even though there are no doctors or consultants working at all this weekend - they are all out on strike again.

Dear fartikins,

Nothing like a Good stretching, is there🫢?..... and it didn't even Help your constipation either!

Yes the NHS might, very well, be a bit Slower BUT! Swallow your 'Pride', apologise if necessary, and ASK for their 'Help',

Yes there are 'Strikes', at the moment, I'm NOT getting Political- in any way- Just Hoping/ praying that this is soon resolved. Sending you my

Very Best Wishes
