Roger has been moved out of his side room and into a six bedded room, so no more "Billy no mates." The man in the next bed traveled from Suffolk (a three hour journey) he was discharged today, and told Roger that he was in a bit of a state when he came in, but "This place sorted me out," so that is comforting to know!
Roger's consultant saw him today. She wants to do an exploratory tomorrow. Without going into too much detail it involves two cameras and some dye.
They have all the tests from the 'Berks' and their radiologists are interpreting them. Based on all the results gathered, they will hold a case conference on Friday to decide if they are able to restore Roger's bowel to it's pre 2009 former glory. If they can't, then it's plan B (a colostomy for life) Miss Clark told him that whatever happens he cannot stay with the high output Ileostomy that he currently has. She also told him that no matter how much water he drinks, he will never, ever quench his thirst with the high output stoma he has. The only way he can quench his thirst is with intravenous fluids.

Good news, Suzanne. Let's hope Roger has another testimony along the lines of "This place sorted me out," by the time he's finished there too!
