I've done the hoovering, and dealt with the dishwasher, wiped over the worksurfaces in the kitchen.
It's only 10 o'clock - I need displacement activities to stop me thinking about being hungry.

It's endoscopy day today, so no food or drink until it's over.
Appointment at 2pm.
Great fun!

My life is so exciting that: my #Facebook #algorithm is now offering me the chance to sign up to participate in... #Endoscopy Marathons? Clearly this is what I've been missing in my life.

In October, I'm going to get spit-roasted. I'm going to get an upper endoscopy to see what's going on with my esophagus. I'm likely to be suffering from GERD.

I'm also going to get a colonoscopy as a routine cancer screening.

Both procedures will take place one after the other.

I've started a course of proton pump inhibitor for my GERD yesterday... and... strangely... I feel that my mood has improved. I did a search and found medical articles that talk about the relationship between GERD and depression and anxiety. The relationship apparently goes both ways.

:catthinking:

Hywel Dda to explore more than 100 new ideas for local health services

The Board recently sought views on its Clinical Services Plan (CSP), which looks at potential changes in critical care, dermatology, emergency general surgery, endoscopy, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, stroke, radiology and urology.

Thousands of responses

Around 4,000 responses were received through questionnaires, events and engagement activities. Feedback included views on the options already put forward, their potential impacts, and fresh ideas suggested by members of the public.

The Health Board, working with independent company Opinion Research Services, is now reviewing all of the responses.

‘We need to do justice to new ideas’

Medical Director Mark Henwood said:

“We have been really pleased with levels of engagement in the consultation from our communities. This has presented to us new ideas which we need to explore and, to do justice, will need to go through the same thorough process as options presented in the consultation.”

Next steps

An update on the consultation feedback will be presented at the Board’s November 2025 meeting.
A full consultation report is expected to be published in January 2026.
An extraordinary Board meeting in February 2026 will decide the future of the nine services.

Wider pressures on west Wales healthcare

The consultation comes against a backdrop of wider concerns about the future of hospital services in west Wales:

Earlier this year, campaigners warned that urgent investment is needed in west Wales hospitals, after plans for a new build were pushed back by a decade, raising fears about the resilience of existing sites.
In Llanelli, councillors have cautioned against any further service losses at Prince Philip Hospital, where the Minor Injuries Unit has already faced overnight closures and is now at the centre of a crunch decision on its long‑term future.
In Llandovery, the Health Board has confirmed the town’s hospital is safe from closure, though X‑ray services remain under review due to outdated equipment and staffing pressures.
Alongside the consultation, Hywel Dda has also launched a new Research and Innovation Strategy, aiming to expand clinical trials and partnerships across the region, with a focus on cancer, respiratory disease, women’s health and digital care.

How ideas will be assessed

All new suggestions will be tested against “hurdle criteria” to check if they are:

Clinically sustainable
Deliverable
Accessible
Aligned with the Health Board’s long‑term strategy
Financially sustainable

A group of staff, stakeholders and patient representatives will also consider the accessibility impacts for communities, before an options development group scores viable ideas to weigh up their strengths and weaknesses.

Mr Henwood added:

“We cannot speculate at this stage on which ideas will become options, but the whole consultation process is both challenging and supporting work done to date and ensuring we have a range of strong options for the future.”

You missed my favourite part of the story (and some unabashed promotion of CTV’s new vet reality show):

“. The otoscope the animal hospital had on hand was too short to get down Juan’s throat, so the vet had to call for backup from endoscopist Dr. Eugene Gorodetsky, who travels the province removing all manner of swallowed objects from all manner of pets.

Gorodetsky is the star of new reality TV series “My Pet Ate What!?” which premiers on CTV Wild this weekend.”

Endoscopy went well.

Doctor said there might be sign of acid reflex because of the loose esophagus. But, the paper work said dyspepsia. Which, from my quick googling, is the gastronomic equivalent of saying you are being a little bitch about it lol.
