But you don't look sick...#3

This is an update from my last BYDLS-[But You Don't Look Sick] entry. Since then, I've been to the local hospitals-[2], one-[the PA] for a '2nd opinion' on my condition?...and the other-[the RBH] for a check-up and some new tests to do with 'my plumbing'. The results-[of both visits] were something of a shock to the system, because I wasn't expecting anything new...

My symptoms had been constantly tracking 'normal' lately and I thought I was mentally 'OK', and so I was in a good place...So, I'll share the RBH-visit first... I have to start 'self-cathetorisation'. The process was explained to me and I was given enough supplies to take home 'to-start-with', so ... 

I can report - it's not so bad really. It's just like having to do something for the very first time, relying on the verbal instruction of someone you've never met before, knowing that if you fail - you will be in a lot of pain and discomfort - and only yourself to blame, for the 'mess' on the floor!...[just like building my first 'Lego' set]...
