Relief at Diagnosis

I have been very uncomfortable over the last few days. Had a pain centred on the area of my belly button. Yesterday the doctor diagnosed me as suffering from an umbilical hernia. He pushed the 'extrusion' back in (ie putting my insides back inside!) which brought instant relief. I am going to have to have an operation, but at least it is mendable.

I continue to suffer from an upset stomach, and this is most probably Irritable Bowel Syndrome (the blood tests and stool sample don't indicate any anomalies). Apparently, this means I will have an enema followed by an endoscopy (camera up my arse!) on the day of my operation. Wow! I just can't wait for that day to come...

I was going to write something else, but I just can't recall that thought at all so I will go now.
