I had a follow up appointment with the arse doctor on Wednesday. It was the head honcho that did the operation. He sat down with my notes and now I removed your spleen didn't I? NO, oh it was...? NO, oh, he reads the notes, Oh yes three years ago rectal cancer. Correct, it gives you a lot of confidence doesn't it.

We had a chat about how things were going and discussed the possible reversal of the stoma, when I retire. I got the usual finger up the bum.

Everything seems to be ok and I left with a blood form and told to book a CT scan.
