Back From The 4th Colonoscopy

Got home a couple of hours ago.

The colonoscopy procedure itself went fine, a few bad spots on the way in but I got pain medication when I needed it so nothing too terrible. The doctor who performed the colonoscopy (proctologist?) says visually everything’s looking good and indeed I could see it myself too – just like last time I could see the red parts as well. She naturally took biopsies so I’ll hear the final results two weeks from now and what’s the next step.

Doing the cleansing in two parts isn’t working for me, however – the next time I’m sticking to the “cleansing in one evening/day” schedule I used three times before. In one way, this two part one was much easier – it wasn’t as violent as the “all in one day” schedule, allowing me to rest a lot between during during cleansing – which I can’t do at all with the “all in one day” schedule until the cleansing is over because once it starts, I can’t get out of bathroom. With this two part schedule, that wasn’t really a problem – it was a lot slower. BUT. A big BUT.

4th Colonoscopy

Tomorrow’s my 4th colonoscopy. Yay. CRP and CALPRO still elevated, although CALPRO has come down about half from the previous. Still high though. Meds not as effective as hoped. So the docs what to see what my bowels is looking like now, is there inflammation left and how bad. I altready thought I might escape without a colonoscopy this time, the doc took a long enough time to suggest it that I hoped it, but no such luck 🙁

This time they have me do the bloody awful, horrible emptying in parts: part 1 today and then tomorrow part 2 early tomorrow morning. All three times before I’ve done it in one, which took 8-9 hours all in all and was hell. Much worse than the procedure itself. But maybe this “do it in two parts” is easier? Common sense says it should be… fingers crossed…

Gallery Problems Fixed – All Good

All good on my sites again. I finished fixing the problems caused by the php upgrade on Coppermine installations on day before yesterday but wouldn’t you know – when I woke up yesterday, the Coppermine developers had rolled out a security upgrade while I slept *head desk* Talk about bad timing!

So again I had to re-upload all the Coppermine files to all my sites and re-install. Took me today and yesterday to finish but it’s all done now! So, all galleries on all sites should be up and working normally, and as far as I can tell, no content was lost 🙂 If you encounter any problems, please do let me know, so I can fix them

PHP Upgraded – Problems With Galleries

My host upgraded all the servers to latest stable version of php this weekend, and this has resulted in some problems. None of my sites were affected with the WordPress problems loads of other people have, but looks like that for some reason most of my Coppermine (gallery) files have became corrupt, resulting in Internal Server Errors. At first I worried it was a hack or something in the upgrade hadn’t finished properly, but that’s not the case. Coppermine files just became corrupt/damaged in the upgrade (don’t ask me why!)

Luckily from one test site I just did, I can fix this by myself 😀 Please bear with me while I work on this, hopefully everything should be back to normal by Tuesday or Wednesday night. I will propably re-upload the Coppermine files to all the sites, regardless of whether the gallery is coming up with the dreaded Internal Server Error or not – just to make sure that all files are that should be.

I just hope we haven’t lost any photo content – haven’t heard anything such from other hostees though, and haven’t noticed anything missing myself. But I’ve been in the panick mode the last several hours, so not sure I’d notice unless like half the gallery was missing.

Hollywood Bar Messes Up Sites

My host’s partner, Hollywood.com, activated today the Hollywood Bar on all fan-sites.org sites without Gertie’s OK on the Bar design and in the process messed up the layouts of all the sites.

It’s been looked at now, and will be fixed ASAP but until then the Hollywood Bar messes up the layouts of the sites more or less, depending on the design.
