Hey Optimistic It's easy to beat yourself up after the event but I'm sure you did what you thought was right at the time. I guess now all you can do is wait for further results and I guess the camera down the mouth. That does sound horrid but I presume they give you sedatives or maybe even knock you out briefly. Just keep your mind on the main goal - if you are coeliac then once you settle into the eating pattern, you should feel heaps better and everything is a step towards that.
Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the next bit. Meantime - big hugs. xxx
Just so you're aware, we've reported a load of bugs to tech this morning - over 30 of them - so hopefully they'll get things sorted out ASAP.
What tag are you missing Ali?

Having a VERY emotional day. I received a letter in the post today. A very special letter. It was from Lisa. I read it with tears in my eyes but a smile on my face. I am so touched that she took the time to write the letter and it's a letter that will stay with me forever.
Sat here crying now. Crying at the friend I lost but also trying to remind myself of the wonderful times we had! Don't think I'll ever stop missing her! Xxxx
As much as it must be difficult it must be moving for Lisa to write you a letter LondonLass. Don't worry about the tears I am happy for you to have a good keepsafe from her.*
Sending you some gentle bear hugs.
Oh I hate it when part the post missing, that will teach me to post on a moving bus!.so I will put a little star * its always going to be hard when we loss someone who we care about but its still very fresh in your mind. But remember the good things, laugh and giggly I am sure she would want you to remember that.
Thank You GBear, I really appreciate your kind words.
I am very happy to have something to treasure from Lisa. I have texts on my phone but somehow that's just not the same. I have a necklace that she gave me its angel wings. I will place the necklace with the letter and keep them both somewhere VERY safe!
Hope you are doing okay. How's the head now? Apologies if you have already mentioned it on here, I haven't quite kept up with everything. But I am trying xxxx
London lass what a beautiful thing to have done she really was a special lady .I'm so sad for all this but you have a wonderful keepsake of your friendship. The memories can never be taken away .I hope you're ok I'm thinking of you xxx
Your welcome LondonLass, to be honest I can't remember if I did post a update about my head, with the techy problems I was 99% unable to post . I was upset in some ways because I could see posts but couldn't reply now I have to try to catch up. But anyways the answer to your question, well I am awaiting a scan on my head went back the GP last Wednesday and she was concerned about the dent and raised area of my head, it appears I hit it harder then I thought I did and I am not 100% sure where I hit it, in regards to location. It may of been the pool. Plus something is pressing on my eye. That and I have had some spotting which I was hoping to be because of the kidney but ruled out, and was advised to contact my gynae team. Which I did and they phoned back 8pm Wednesday after clinic. I didn't expect them to phone me then, anyways she's going to speak with my consultant and see what he thinks and phone me Monday. Plus I have my dermatology appointment on the 16th July because of the problems with my toes. Oh and thank you ronstar for the heads up about the full body check, they mention it in the letter, I think you go passed embarrassment after a while. So a few worries but I am sure I be fine. Thanks for asking.
What a wonderful thing to have to keep and treasure. She was so thoughtful.
Love
