    Aw, your evening sounds nice as does the wine from the 'cellar'...

    Will be good to get the polyp sorted on Saturday.

    I think doctors are being very cautious so that they manage expectations.  It is 2 years now since I saw the GP about my hip & I had seen the consultant & had the op in half the time the doctor thought it would take to get the first appt with the consultant.  Within 5 months of the GP appt I was back driving again.  Good luck with the polyp & I hope the "oscopy" is too unpleasant.

    Thanks @doingitanyway. Ended up saving the last episode so we have something we want to watch to look forward to

    Bit harsh 😁 Not even local anaesthetic needed just painkillers an hour before so should be fine. Though apparently I should allow 50 minutes for the procedure so my main concern is being horribly bored. Will ask if I can take a book in

    Thank you @beanielou, these things are always worrying but best to get them checked before they get even more worrying. Apropos of nothing, done your bowel check test yet? 😘

    Cheers @Blackcats. Thinking of converting the basement into a swimming pool but there are people living in it and calling it 'flats'
