This is a picture of Lydia Halunen and me at Mandy's introduction party for Ellie.

Today was uneventful. I finally met up with the GI people and instead of doing a full colonoscopy and prep, they are going to do the biospies through a sigmoidoscopy,which doesn't go as far up your colon. It is dangerous to do a larger scope because of the level of inflammation. I have homework to do, but I am a bit uncomfortable for concentration. I have been worrying about what I am going to do about the work I have missed and how I am going to adjust my budget. I can't imagine what it is like for people that have no insurance and have a health care issue. My friend Kelli Belfatto is also having an abdominal crisis, but is going to the doctor. I'm glad she isn't one of those people that you have to argue with to get ther to got to the doctor's. She was sipping her colontini, an awesome new word to add to our Wiki, refering to the colonoscopy prep! Wonderful linguistic contribution Fatto! So I might not likely post tomorrow depending on how miserable I am and how much of my colon they snip out. I have an hour and half left to eat so I think I'll walk down for some Animal crackers to out of the vending machine to coat the stomach for the awful oral medicine they are shooting at me. So nothing exciting to report today!
GO SOX!
