as some of you know i have a blockage in my small bowel which has been causing me problems, namely being hospitalised 3 times in 2 weeks!! well i had an appt. through to see the colectoral surgeon for 17th dec to discuss the next step and duly noted this on the calender. next day the phone rang and a man asked to speak to susan....took me a while to catch on that was me cos no-one ever calls me susan. the voice turned out to be that of the surgeon who had looked after me so nicely when i was in hospital. he was phoning to find out if i had been ok since my release from hospital, was i following advice, any problems and to fill me in on rsults of mdt meeting and the appt i had been sent. he explained why another surgeon was taking over,apparently the new one is more specialised. he then said that he was on call mon-thurs next week and if i had any more problems i was to get up to the hospital and ask for him and he would look after me. i thought i would post this because i know some of you have had bad experiences of the nhs but id like you to know that we have good experience too.
also there was a worry that i might have mets on my spine but the mri was clear so thats a relief. so if we can just get the little bugger in my duodenum under control we'll be ok.
hugs and kisses sue xxx
