Cystoscopy.. West Berks Day 2
I thought deserved a mention, a punishment invented by some bright spark... A cystoscopy was the procedure I had yesterday. The thing itself is not bad but the aftermath was oh so painful.. All went well, I saw this camera thing that was eventually fed down my penis, yeh.... Ouch.... On the screen I saw the tubes and then inside the bladder, it was uncomfortable at worse and not painful - too much. After all was done I had an overwhelming urge to go pee... I got to the toilet and it started. The pain was intense as the saline solution comes out, then it felt like someone had set it on fire... I stumbled to the door and quickly fastened my trousers, I felt like using the loo again, and the urge was huge. I got back to the toilet and it was 'game over'... Pain......
I stepped out into the corridor and stumbled toward a nurse, I was about to pass out. The pain was so intense. They lay me down and slowly it subsided. I was told it will wear off, it did very slowly. Finally I got up and left, said thanks for the care and I was on my way.
I got home and slept, it had took everything from me.. I was so tired... Today the pain is only very slight and I was given the all clear, no stones... That's the good thing. Some powerful praying took care of that.
Tip for the future, if I'm asked to have another one of those - insist on a general...
All in all though, two appointments at the West Berks this week, and both have been great, felt like I was treated the best possible by the staff. Such a shame about the bandits in the car park charging £1.50 an hour.
That's it, no more investigations of the water works I hope. I do hope the kidney pains never return... Cos aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhh...... Hope this doesn't scare anyone with a similar problem, my advice is get put to sleep at every point if you're a wuss who can't take pain.... That'll be me then :-)
Out!
Back to the bike, 350 miles by the end of February... Wish me luck.
