Hello again all, long time no speak!
Thought I would update you all as to my current state of affairs. Still feeling much better than before my exploratory surgery but by no means 'right' or 'normal'. Still having a host of issues and have passed mucus and blood on two occasions in the last fortnight. Most recently this morning after consuming some fresh orange juice and a handful of grapes. Don't think that these could have gone through me so quickly however, so still as confused as ever!
Have decided that I do not want to go back to Peterborough hospital as they were dismissive of my symptoms beforehand, I had to beg for my surgery and was made to feel it wasn't worthwhile. Then they found the scar tissue and bowel adhesions but were happy to say it's just one of those things despite me still suffering with similar symptoms.
I now have a referral to Addenbrookes hospital on the 7th August so have renewed hope that they will treat me with some care and compassion. If I end up with the same 'cause unknown' diagnosis then I will have to deal with that then, not giving it too much thought for now.
That's about it really, I'm not going to list all my current problems as there are many, and I'm sure people's eyes are already straining reading this!
Hope that life has been kind to you all since I've been away, or that you're at least managing to cope with whatever it is throwing your way.
Take care and speak soon,
Craig
