Been a sticky hot day here, temp was supposed to drop but didn't drop that much. Was planning to get on with trimming the ivy but too hot for that. Just been out to water the garden and immediately got nailed on the calf by a wee black fly thing with a bite like a bl00dy Rottweiler
Morning Steve,

Here is something which could be of interest as you posted up previously about having a colonoscopy.

I was recently chatting to a friend who cannot have a colonoscopy with sedation because of his bad heart.

Following a stool test for the presence of blood in his poo, he had a CO2 Colonoscopy CT scan, where Carbon Dioxide gas inflated his back passage and large bowel.

The night before the test, he had to drink a mixture containing a tracer contrast element iodine for the CT scan in the morning.

The only side effect from the test, was lots of breaking wind releasing the CO2 for about 15 minutes after the test finished and no pain before, during or after the test.

The results: Diverticulitis and no bowel cancer.

Have a great day!
