Its ESA50 time......

Say Kids? What Time is it? OOOH ESA50 time!



I wish I could send them a picture similar to above. In fact, I might.
(for Visually Impared the picture is a comparison between healthy and non healthy colon) 



Theres pain in my bowels regularly, very regularly.

AND I HAVE TO explain that to complete unknown strangers.

How i walk when it hurts , when i lose control, how infections occur, complications, limitations etc.

Cross relations antibiotics with other tablets, risks and threats to further heath, knock on issues etc etc.

. IT'S complete bowelux in the head. (see the pun?)

The NON bowel thing is also having to be explained. The thing is ...... Just writing down *the thing* DOes not guarantee understanding.

I've said this MANY MANY times. The WCA is NOT a medical assessment. If so the disclosure of detail you must jump through and disclose would NOT be necessary. Stating the disease or ill would be sufficient.

Its play school drs and nurses. And its , yet again, doing my head in. (which , by the way I have to also explain Depression. To a supposed medical service)

The day before.....



Today I'm grazing on food bits and bobs, and having a late big meal last thing.
I hate the day before a Nil-by-mouth procedure. To eat ANYTHING tomorrow would mean getting up at five am to do so.
Medical explanation, of sorts:

Camera Swallowing isnt a listed sport or social housing issue, so I havent really trained for it.
Oh and they will also be snipping bits from inside to see indeed if i'm made of sugar and spice or slugs and snails (i.e. to see if bits are good or bad) and filming my innerds to boot. 

I would expect to feel slightly nauseous before during and after, but they do give you something to eat after the local anaesthetic in your throat is confirmed as worn off - if you can face eating anything after having a snakelike tube rummaging around inside you.
That is all.

I thank you.
