My day has gone to shit! Was supposed to be at the game tonight. My powered wheelchair has a battery problem so that’s me fucked. I will have a drink watching on the telly instead!

Sorry to hear that mate. Actually had the same thing happen to me. I’ve had more endoscopies than I can remember because I’m high risk of bowel cancer so I have a screening every 2 years. Usually it’s a combo upper GI + colonoscopy.

A few years back I went in and they couldn’t go down the throat because every time they tried my pulse rocketed to unsafe levels and my BP went wobbly. I have zero history of blood pressure issues but I do have a high resting pulse.

I’ve since learned that it was probably dehydration. The prep takes a lot of fluid out of you, if you think you’re drinking enough water, double it and drink all the way up to the point at which you have to be NBM. I don’t think they stress this enough personally.

Since then I always drink loads of water and I’ve not had an issue in subsequent endoscopies.

Great advice, thanks.
 
My day was doing well until I left for the match and it took me about 1 hr 35 minutes to do just over a mile and a half!!

But at least I was better off than the food delivery driver. He seemed to have abandoned his transport and was going up and down the road I was stuck on, with this huge container type thing, all over the place in the pouring rain. Obviously his wares were not in numerical order as he was up and down like a scalded cat poor man!!

Are you the mother of 3 lads all under 10 by any chance :-)

We've had our differences in the past... yet, surprisingly, we agree on most things, especially politics.

A truce?

Anyhow, happy birthday... and a pic of my cat Sky to wish you well.

Ileostomy reversal confirmed for March. It’ll be about 18 months wearing a bag and I can’t wait to lose it.
