Today is another morning where we are keeping doctors and nurses employed. Scott and Sandi are at a local surgical center this morning as I write this. Scott is having to go under a second colonoscopy as the first one a couple of months ago didn't go as well as it needed to.
The purpose this morning is to hopefully better see things in there and figure out what is going on with him. Not only do they need to see just how bad his ulcer is and if there is only one, they are also trying to determine if Scott has Crohn's Disease. Some indications say yes while others say no. They had hoped to be able to figure this out the last time the did the colonoscopy, but could not see everything they wanted.
At least when that one was done, the biopsies they took came back cancer free. After what we had gone through with Sandi, cancer was a very real fear. The plan this morning is to take a couple more samples while they are inside to make sure.
Scott has classes later today and is planning to go to school. Hopefully, things will go smoothly and quickly so this is over as fast as possible today.

Hoping all goes well, and especially that Crohn's is eventually ruled out.
Me too, Barry. Me too.
