      Hi there M have had my test this morning , they gave some sedation but I was awake and it was painfull going along the tubes  , I had to ask him to stop a couple of times which he did  , I had a bit more stuff but it did not make any difference ,  other wise it was not as bad as I thought , I was told afterwards that it's usually 

       people who have had tummy Opps who feel the pain cos it more difficult to get round any way 

      every one was very nice though and they even changed one of the male staff to a female to balance it out a bit , I think they saw my face when it was all men and only one woman ,! I got privacy shorts which was good too , they couldn't find any thing sinister just things I knew about ,thank goodness . so sadly I guess I will be up for the dreaded. X-ray but I think that will just be embarrassing 

      hope your opp goes well I think I will be up for one as well as they think it may be a collapsing Bowell now ,

      take care
