Well I've just got in from having a barium x-ray. Got seen 5 mins early and the nurses etc were great, as they need to be, as it's something you really don't want to have done.
Was going OK til they decided to up the pressure and expand my intestines until it felt like they were gpoing to burst. Spent an hour walking around after the procedure trying to dislodge the air in so much discomfort it's untrue. Still feel full of air now, Ireckom if you stuck a pin in me I'd fly around the room like a balloon would.
Results in 2 weeks so fingers crossed for me

I must say that with the three major operations I have had in recent years, my treatment has been totally without criticism. Maybe we are lucky in this part of the country, but the staff in the hospitals here do everything possible to help and comfort the patients. They obviously have the full vocation because they regard their job as being vital to do the very best they can for the patients.
I have seen the very opposite in hospitals further up country though, especially in the way my elderly mother was looked after, or not rather!

Les, We're quite lucky here too with hospitals as well as we have a teaching university hospital just down the road. Last year Mrs Chip's treatment for cancer was superb to be fair but again we have a cancer research hospital local to us as well, and she was diagnosed early and had immediate treatment as well from surgery all the way through to chemo and radio therapy and now fingers crossed all is looking for for the future
