Gary's results - GREAT news!!

[Kathy_from_England]

Recap....Gary has been having frequent partial blockages and a couple of total ones.
Due to our wonderful NHS, it's taken them literally years to scope him from stomach to stoma. The latest problem was a blood related one. (It sounded nasty, and could have indicated a tumour somewhere.)

He's been on a total liquid diet and was supposed to have a pint of blood taken to help with the blood problem. Well, he went for his appointment and nothing happened because the hospital had run out of bags. (He did offer to lend them one of his, lol). You couldn't make it up, could you??

Now for the good news!!!
He recently had a blood test then it was off to the doctor...who said his blood problem levels were way down, due to the diet alone!!

WooHooHoo!!!

It means the problem is related to the blockages, and isn't serious (as in life-threatening).

The diet has reduced the inflammation, thought to be due to the sutures.

Only time will tell if the problem has been solved or if it keeps returning, but I am just so relieved it seems to be sorted at long last!!!

That message looks familiar somehow!

Glad to hear Gary is all sorted. Will you be able to go out for that meal you won?

And yes, I think the meal will still be valid...we break up tomorrow (literally in my case I think!! ;D) so I'll ring them and see if we can book it.
