The Traveling Kiwi

They didn’t find Zebo at stage 1, another colonoscopy in 5 years so pretty happy with that. Now 10 days of antibiotics to see if he can be chased out, only problem is that I had a bad reaction to penicillin after being over prescribed as a kid. Fingers crossed reactions stay mild this time. Funny really when all the drugs and the strange high blood test readings all have the the side effect of causing fatigue and gut pain when that’s what the problem is. Who knows which one is the culprit. At least I am still COVID free and I feel for everyone who has had to go through it and now the new variant which is happy to visit again and again. After the antibiotics we are still on plan to swallow the camera. (capsule endoscopy) Quite fascinating really, the camera sends thousands of photos to the recorder you wear – it’s the only way to look inside the small intestine and see what’s going on. I am hoping the antibiotics are going to work so well that it’s not necessary because I am not keen to go to Waikato hospital for the procedure. They have more than a few wards closed with COVID and are probably the easiest place to go to get it.

It’s dark grey out and raining again with a forecast of more rain so walking is curtailed as it everything else really. Good time to be tucked up warm and read in between naps. It feels like winter has really set in. The last of the camellia are trying to give a bit of colour to the grey on grey palette – this was last week when it was a little brighter. I have used a filter on it to make it more like a painting
