It is a long story. I Wanted able to have a bm
for a long time till ai finally asked a friend to admit me to st. Marys hosp.
here at Mariannhill to have a professional give me an enema ( we tried many things
at home with practically no results. I had three strong enemas and again, no
results, finally was released to go to a doctor at another private hospital who
told me to take 4 sachets of picoprep (the stuff they ask you to take to flush
the system. Well, the system was flushed and the colonoscopy was a great
success….clean, clean, clen like a new born baby, even some technicolour pictures
of my innards. That was Thursday the 17th nov.
Till now , no movement….back to square one. St. marys let me out on passout to get the report for the colonoscopy, which I did and I have an appointment with the doctor who did the job to see where we can go from here. (I hope there is a way forward without another colonoscopy, which I can’t afford). I will see him on Tuesday, Nov. 29. Then back to st. Marys for follow up. A problem is that we are mixing two unmixable systems….private and public hospitals …two different systems. Private, good but way out of our budget, and public, good but slow and free or very low cost. It was maddening and frustrating in st. Marys…no internet…no communication with the outside world for almost 2 weeks. I will only know on Tuesday if there is a way forward and what it might be. Keep the prayers coming.
I will let you all know what is and has
been happening if I have the energy. I haven’t had solid foo, with a few
exceptions, for over 2 weeks now. Only soup and mealie porridge, lots and lots
of water, some clear apple juice and black coffee or tea to drink. I lost lots
of weight I weigh 51 kg (about 113 lbs.) In 2018 my normal weight was
150 lbs, or 70 kg. If anybody of you wants to lose weight, I have the secret. I
will keep you posted when I get a chance, LOL and more, Cas
