Routine

I saw Mr Bain my consultant again this afternoon - a routine check after the hernia op. He says that all is well but that I can't start back running for another six weeks and it's another three months before I can go to the gym! I can see Alfie getting some very long very brisk walks...

He took blood today to test my CEA markers ( they were fine last time) - my next routine investigation will be a colonoscopy in July (picolax again!) and then another appointment with him in the autumn. ( Oh - and he says that aspirin is a good idea)

It's going to be this sort of routine for the next four years. That's OK - but I always feel low after these visits. It's the feeling of being snared I think.
