I can't believe I have not Blogged since Monday. What a slacker I am.
My doctor apt. on Tues. went really well. Pathology showed another pos. node. but it was contained. I will need another colonoscopy in two years.
Also discussed the blood problem. He, the doctor, said it might be useful for other members of my family to find out if any body else has excessive bruising, bleeding etc. So I spent some time yesterday calling relatives and I have found 10 members who have some problem. All minor but, so were mine until now. I have asked some of them to send me any blood work they may have at home.
Than I looked up Van Willerbrand's and found out it is the most common blood disorder, and not well known even by the medical community. There are some new treatments, mainly to be done before surgery etc.
ENOUGHT!
Today I am waiting for my brother Frank. He is coming for a few days. I have a few chores lined up for him. Mainly things like taking out the trash. I can not lift that much , yet.

Ho, ho, so that's why you're looking forward to seeing Frank--so he can take out the trash! But seriously--please tell him we said hello and also, report back on the Von Willebrand thing.
