Actually, not quite correct, as i had a similar experience 8 years ago, and i vowed then NEVER AGAIN.</p> <p>But needs must, and I'm steeling myself to spend the next 18 hours or so on my favourite loo, emptying out more crap ( excuse the pun) than even my greatest enemies thought I had in me.</p> <p>I have known this was on the cards for some time, but even though the appointment was made 3 weeks ago, the reality of the situation is only just sinking in.</p> <p>Good news will be the doctor telling me that I have IBS, liveable news will be Colitis, less liveable will be Chrones and anything worse than that doesn't really bare thinking about.</p> <p>Well now that I've got that off my chest , let's get the rest out of my bowels!</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://betterlatethannever.blog.co.uk/2005/10/20/not_looking_forward_to_this~248907/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:betterlatethannever.blog.co.uk,2005-10-20:/2005/10/20/not_looking_forward_to_this~248891/mikegreene10582005-10-20T19:24:35+02:002005-10-20T19:24:35+02:00<p> <small> <a href="http://betterlatethannever.blog.co.uk/2005/10/20/not_looking_forward_to_this~248891/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:betterlatethannever.blog.co.uk,2005-10-19:/2005/10/19/living_the_dream~246015/mikegreene10582005-10-19T19:52:58+02:002005-10-19T19:52:58+02:00 <p><a href="http://data1.blog.de/blog/b/betterlatethannever/img/Chalet1.JPG" title="Chalet"><img src="http://data1.blog.de/blog/b/betterlatethannever/img/Chalet1_small.jpg" border="0" alt="Chalet"></a></p> <p>Here goes............. </p> <p>I find myself in the strange position of starting to write my 1st blog before I've read anyone elses. Well at least I can claim tobe uncorrupted by other bloggers postings.</p> <p>In about a 8 weeks times I shall be moving to Switzerland- well at least part time- to fulfill a long standing dream. I shall be able to wake up and look at the mountains, breathe in unpolluted air and after checking my "work" emails, ski for the rest of the day.</p> <p>My wife and 4 kids will visit me when they can, when they too busy or are not at school/uni , but for the 1st time in my life ( 47 years and counting) I shall be (selfishly?) getting my own needs met.</p> <p>If I've downloaded the correct pic, you can see my new chalet,which my builder Pierre promises will be ready for me my the 1st week of December- we shall see!</p> <p>I'm off to Switzerland next Monday pm (24th) with my wife for a couple of days to choose the remaining items of furniture/ fittings we need and didn't round to buying on our last trip in September.</p> <p>Before that though, i have a less pleasant appointment at my local hospital on Friday .They will knock me out and put a probe down my throat and another one up where the sun doesn't shine and try and find out why I have been spending the last 3 mionths constantly visiting the loo for extended sittings.</p> <p>To be continued...........................</p> <p><a href="http://data1.blog.de/blog/b/betterlatethannever/img/Scan3.JPG" title="Me"><img src="http://data1.blog.de/blog/b/betterlatethannever/img/Scan3_small.jpg" border="0" alt="Me"></a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://betterlatethannever.blog.co.uk/2005/10/19/living_the_dream~246015/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
