Still bloated as ever, just sitting down this time.
As you can see, nothing has changed. And I'm definitely not with child.
I had the hospital yesterday and I was sincerely hoping for some answers, or at least good news. I suppose you could say I had answers......well we're halfway to answers anyway.
It seems that they have whittled my bloat down to the following reasons:
- I have a collection based on infected scar tissue
- I have a collection from an abscess which has formed inside me
- The stricture they removed has since been replaced by another one where my intestines re-joined
I got told yesterday that my CT Scan on April 24th has been changed to an Ultrasound with contrast. Apparently it's because I cannot be exposed to that much radiation in a short amount of time (my last CT Scan was 02.02.13?) I don't care what type of scan I have - as long as it shows up what in the blaze is happening!
Whilst I was at the hospital yesterday we did some bloods to test for Coeliac [and everything else] so I think I can call end of next week to see whether I do...
I also really hope that I'm not chasing a follow up appointment after the scan; will be the last thing I need. But also that I can be sat down and told exactly what's going on, and what happens now.
Is that really too much to ask?!

I'm looking into a nutritionist at the moment - if anything, just to fill some time between appointments. But I want to know at the end of the day, I have exhausted every possible angle before I get told there's nothing they can do. Any advice or contacts welcomed, tweet me on @Harriet_Pure

On a lighter note, I was in excruciating pain on Sunday evening and I think I may have taken my Oramorph too close to the previous dose. Never in my life have I felt soooo spaced out, itchy, nauseous, drowsy.
Quite funny when I think about it now - walking around like a zombie, almost kicking my cat a few times. But at the time I couldn't see the wood from the trees.
Bloody side effects.
Haha, if only.
