another test, more indignity. but this time its different. I so nearly chickened out of this one - its not been so bad, i mustn't make a fuss, other people have worse than me, i mustn't use up NHS resources........and then I thought, well, maybe in 6 months it will be back with a vengeance making my life a misery and then I'd regret not being on that waiting list to get it sorted.
so i went. and the procedure was hardly under way when the doctor suddenly announced it was done, test finished - because he knew (and could show me on the screen) exactly what was causing the trouble and would be able to inform the surgeon exactly what to do to fix it.
fix it! fix it............after 10 years! before i left, in a complete daze, the nurse said "you know I bet 4 out of 10 people you know have much the same problem". but we never talk about it. never admit to it.
well I'm going to now. they have convinced me I am normal, OK, and what's more fixable!!!
more anon!
