Good news Hug! :) good luck with the gastroscopy. I hope they find a cause for your symptoms that is easily dealt with. Now rest up! 
you're not silly to worry. Your GP wouldn't have referred you for the tests if they didn't think the symptoms were worth investigating.
Rosies grrr at the delay. I hope they give you an appointment quickly. I've only had one colonoscopy (had my colon removed after that!) but I didn't actually find it too awful. The prep solution is quite unpleasant, but just down it as quickly as possible and have a nicer tasting drink to follow. Some people recommend a straw so you don't taste it as much, but that slows it down.
purple I hope you hear back soon. How frustrating. Especially when it's delaying your steroids! I hope the increased oramorph is helping it's good your son is chipping in with the housework. You need your rest I'm just knitting scarves for the WH refugee project, nothing too exciting. I have finished all of my ongoing projects, I think. I had a few random squares that I'd made so my mum is making them into blankets for different WH projects.
TQ 
sounds good to me. Annoying about the blood though!
ggirl sorry that you're still suffering side effects from your treatment
KeepCalm yes, she was rather. I found it compelling, mainly because I really wanted him to get his comeuppance.
Toofar don't get me started on Death in Paradise! 
it's so colonial. Silly foreigners can't solve any crimes without the hapless British detective. Eek to silver nitrate. I had that on my manky toe! I've got some medihoney cream to prevent pressure sores. I also used it on my sore nose (from oxygen prongs) and it sorted that right out.
Waving to everyone. Happy Friday.
I'm watching black-ish at the moment.
I had some breakthrough pain again so they've upped the morphine in my pump.
