Also Michael and Ann have come back from an Icelandic cruise with covid. Did a bowel cancer screening test a couple of weeks ago and as a result had an telephone consultation and have been booked in for a colonoscopy next Monday at Wexham Park hospital in Slough. Picked up a colonoscopy pack on Tuesday morning with all the gory details. I need to go on a low fibre diet for 3 or 4 days before and fast and take laxatives the day before. Did the Southcote Lock walk in the evening but anti clockwise. The cows are back in Fobney Meadow but it looks like a different herd.
The graffiti as been cleared in the tunnel near The Holybrook. How long will it last?
Did a ride out to Stanford Dingley on Wednesday morning. A green woodpecker flew out in front of me at one point and for a while we were going at the same speed so it was just flapping away a few feet in front of me.
Edith met her auntie Amy. On Thursday we had an early band practice so met for breakfast at The Yolk Cafe which was very good, as was the practice. Edith is now 5kg and seems to like her baby bouncer.
It rained all day on Friday so didn't do much. Had a call with JAM on Saturday morning. A good start to the day on Sunday as I had to have breakfast before 8am but only because I can't have anything to eat for the rest of the day due to Monday's colonoscopy. Also needed to take 2 lots of laxatives. On a happier note got a photo of a sleepy Edith looking like a young Tom.
Had the colonoscopy on Monday. They found and removed 2 polyps that they thought looked harmless but sent away for testing anyway. They also say I have diverticular disease but I don't have any symptoms. Looking on the NHS website that actually means I have diverticulosis. Anyway I need to move to a high fibre diet, eat my 5 a day and drink at least 2 litres of fluid a day.
