Angled

I saw the surgeon today, and it's all good news. It turns out my bowel is fine, it's just a bit narrow, so I'll  have  to have a few procedures where the bowel is stretched with a medical balloon.
Phew - I was worried I'd be stuck with the ileostomy bag permanently.

I went for a blood test afterwards, so I took this photo with my phone as I was heading in to the hospital. My veins are hard to find, so the nurse had to put the needle in a soft part of my arm. It was very painful, and now I feel like I've been stung by a bee. Ouchy!
