I woke up just at 6.30 am. Time to get up, get ready and get to the hospital for the cameras. No, not my five minutes of fame, but cameras at each end of me to check on my insides.
We took a minicab to the hospital as it’s much quicker than the bus. That meant we didn’t have to leave the house until around 7.15 am.
Got there about 7.40 and there was no-one in Endoscopy reception at that time. I waited a little while and someone appeared and then I signed in. Got taken through to the prep room and changed into a gown and waited some more.
A nurse came in and wired up my hand so I could have some sedation prior to the procedure.
I had the gastroscopy and the colonoscopy in the same place one after the other. The colonoscopy was a little uncomfortable but otherwise wasn’t too bad. Afterwards, we made our way back to Hounslow and went to Hug A Mug for lunch.
Then we made our way home. Was feeling rather drained after the events of the past couple of days, and went to bed rather early and slept well for a change!
