Things got better during the day - I was able to eat a little at lunchtime and a fair amount in the evening. I am back to normal this morning. I drank plenty of water yesterday and consequently went to the bathroom frequently but there was nothing to see and no repetition of what I'd thought were flecks in my urine. I'll keep a watching brief but Friday will be the day when we see if it is just me being paranoid or that I didn't imagine it. Either way I'll just have to live with it and you know things could be worse. I'm going to a funeral of someone who was only 6 years older than me later today. Sobering stuff. I don't suppose I've ever felt "old" even at 55 it doesn't feel much different to being 40, perhaps I'm not as physically fit though as I used to be.
A friend who can only be 3 or 4 years older than me was telling me that he's just been diagnosed with emphysema that on top of his existing colitis and suddenly you start to be thankful that you've only had Bladder Cancer - which isn't to trivialise it! Add to that my other friend who has just been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and suddenly it looks like we are all in the firing line. I'm pretty pleased that all I've really had is the Bladder Cancer.
Things are back to "normal" this morning, a nice hearty breakfast, on my 2nd pint of cold water and a black coffee and at the PC. I'm doing some more research on my holiday which I am looking forward to.
