As much as previous surgery ended up in unexpected infection (I'm still waiting to have my toe nail removed, and it still oozes something so pungent, that I won't be surprised if in the end they would have to amputate the entire toe...) - the last one, which ended up to be gastric only, was immediately followed by severe kidneys infection.  Despite all the painkillers I take, the pain is absolutely awful and at times doubling me up with a stub.

They managed to do gastroscopy and endoscopy, remove some blockages on both routes to widen up the digestive track, but the small intestine was so tight, they couldn't even examine it.  So the doctor told me that either what they removed would help with 'using' the digestive tract, or they will have a pleasure of seeing me again to check the small intestine - and, as the nurse said, "don't worry, we have several methods of checking it".  Yippee, gastric surgery number ten looming on the horizon, just give me the date!  No, I'm not happy - in case it sounds like I am...
