I would like to thank the staff who looked after me, Orange zone 3rd floor.
I was introduced to everybody in the room .
Because head went to soup the minute I walked into the room I have forgotten the name of the other nurse that was present. I do however remember Lucy the nurse who looked after me . This lady was brilliant as the procedure was so painful I was asked if I wanted Entonox . So pleased I went for it .
Lucy stayed by my side as I had forgotten how to breath !!!
Seemingly Entonox side effects are feeling lightheaded , drunk or crying .
I went for the crying mode (what a blouse ) again Lucy was fantastic reassuring me all the time .
The procedure was to check for polyps by Dr Mukhopadhya
Afterwards on the ward with a welcome cuppa and several biccies.
I have had this procedure done a few times now it’s normally uncomfortable not painful . Without going into too much detail I believe that’s down to good old bowel prep.
I think Plan B may be next ………joy……..
