Sold my guitars because I could not play anymore due to my arthritis and carpel tunnel syndrome but the show must go on and I still have all my busking gear and can still sing. I am planning on getting back out around Harbourside now the warmer weather is here so watch this spade for more details.

Further to previous posts on this matter, the procedure I had a while ago was in fact a colonoscopy. I am grateful for the excellent service of the NHS and the team at the BRI. I am putting this out on Facebook as a reminder for everyone that we should talk about such matters. Also to go for all the tests that are open to us even if like me you have had little or no symptoms. The only symptom I has was an urgency to go sometimes and rarely not get to a toilet in time but I have had that problem for a long time. I received the stool test in.the post a long time ago but didn't actually do.it until a few weeks ago. It was just left on the bathroom sink for months. I was surprised to find out that the test showed that there was something wrong and I should get it sorted. I missed the first telephone consultation because I was at work but called them back for the second one. I didn't really expect to be called in for the colonoscopy but I am glad I did. They actually found 4 polyps, 1 near the entrance and a cluster of 3 near the end. I was told that they were small and looked OK and they managed to get them out without any blood loss. I am still waiting for the results but I know that things could have been a lot worse if I hadn't actually done the test or delayed it any longer. I am hoping that it was done in time and that all will be all right.

In case you have missed me I haven't been around for quite a while because I have been practicing with my guitar, which has been my main priority. Started with my first cheap acoustic guitar 6 about 6 weeks ago and have recently treated myself to an excellent electro acoustic guitar. I will be back out there after I have learnt a few new songs.
