update for Tuesday

Back on the blog again.
Nurse and doctor visited.
Confirmed present pain more likely to be peritoneal than bowel.
Therefore treat with extra dose of morphine.
Recurrence of BMs would appear to confirm this.

Have just finished reading Scott's final Antartic journals - an encouragement to be brave and strong till the end.
Coralie - yes, the Russian novel would be good at this time!
Currently reading "We are all made of glue" - poignant, funny novel set in North London.

Nurse Jane asked me to remind people that bowel movements are NOT directly related to what we eat - a lot of the bowel movement is related to other stuff that builds up in the bowel.
By the same token, beware of fibrous material!
Hear endeth the lesson...
