An Update on My Treatment

Today is the end of week 6 of 7 of my treatment, leaving me just 7 days to go.

This is because I missed one day while they we doing monthly maintenance on the zapper (I assume putting more particles in it) and again on Monday, when the machine wasn't functioning. Unfortunately, they didn't let us know until I was half way to Tours, so I had a swap of taxis in Veigne and came home again.

Yesterday the taxi diverted to pick up another passenger in Loches. This happened while I was there


I have found the past 3 weeks really difficult. It's only the past couple of days where my digestive system has stabilised, and before that I was having to be tested at the hospital then sent off to do more drinking. I was beginning to think that they suspected I wasn't preparing properly, but when I showed them a list of my previous 4 days consumption they softened a lot. From my list of prohibited food I further omitted all dairy, all wheat, all veg except potatoes, and coffee.

That left me with spuds, rice, chicken, white fish, processed white ham, and cordial. For some strange reason, I'm also allowed quince jelly, so I've been having that on rice crackers for breakfast. A couple of times I have snuck in an egg white omelette, but that's about it. It was 4 days of that and 3 kinds of diarrhoea medication before I settled down.

Still - I'm almost there. Roll on my finishing day.

Roll on indeed - the marathon has been difficult, but you have kept going. Respect.
Do they think you'll be able to introduce more fibre any day soon ?
