A Bald Head

Warning: if you have recently eaten, you may want to skip over this post.There is a perennial favourite joke-cum-riddle that goes, “What is it that nobody wants to have but nobody wants to lose?” The traditional answer to this is “a bald head”, but I think that “an ulcerated colon” fits the criteria equally well

Have no fear, I work in a doctor's surgery these days.

I hope it doesn't come to anything so drastic, and you feel better soon. :(

Does this mean that Friday evening might be problematic?

No, Friday evening *will* be going ahead. I refuse to give into this thing and stop having fun.

Hiya, I wandered over here from your comment on vervain_'s last post.
My aunt has very bad ulcerative colitis, had had for as long as I can remember and has spent a fair bit of time in hopsital. She got her colostomy bag a few years ago and she says it hasn't stopped her doing anything, even goes snorkling etc.. on holiday. She's says it's not as bad as she thought it would be and since the op she's built her body weight back up- she was pretty much skin and bones before it.

Just thought I'd mention it so you know that even the worst isn't as bad you as might be thinking. Hope you don't mind random people commenting...

Lol, not when they make such reassuring comments ;)

Fortunately, though, the colitis has been very managable for the past year, so touch wood, surgery needn't be an option.
