well that went rather well, after a bumpy start.. PEG decided to give off a pink discharge after cleaning 1st thing.. swiftly cleaned up and loosened a tad by radiology head.. a bit of a pressure sore going on, with it being too tight..managed to get Flamagel RT, after explaining my situation, so I can get that without going through GP now.. most helpful, I must admit.. they're working to arrange my start times to fit with my daughter giving me transport.. but a bit of a sore throat though, not helped by my wife deciding to make candles, to while away the time... the smell of resin is just killing me.. oh hum.. apart from that I feel good, in a good mood. ready to eat ham + cheese omelette and chips. plenty of drugs to take tomorrow and next 3 days, and some anti sickness, if I need them... so, onward and upward.. pleased with today, I must admit.
oh, and afterwards, on the way out, I had the opportunity to try something, the name of which escapes me now.. but you stick this cling film covered 'lollipop' on your tongue for 1 min, under your tongue for 1 min, then you place this disc like thing on along your jaw, and lips, all for 1 min.. it is hoped that it reduces the after effects... we shall see, and hopefully I'll get the name tomorrow..
Well done
not helped by my wife deciding to make candles
I keep bees. Pm me your address and I’ll send you a proper candle. Beeswax and nothing else.

Hi Loz
So glad to hear you are getting such good treatment. Your radiology team sound great. I do hope the lollipop treatment works well. Isn't it great that they are coming up with new ideas to help alleviate symptoms.
Best wishes for the rest of the treatment.
