It turns out that my mother is the perfect patient for the kind of tests she had today - endoscopy and colonoscopy. She did a great job with her prep, drinking down the ucky liquid in 3-1/2 hours when told she had to finish in 6. She said it didn't taste that bad to her.And after the procedures today she said "nothin' to it!" She had feared the worst, and she hardly felt a thing thanks to the great sedative they gave her. Her throat was a little sore afterwards but that's to be expected from the scope they put down to look at her stomach. The sedative made her a little weak and wobbly, but that cleared up very quickly once she was able to have some lunch.
Best of all, the tests showed nothing to worry about in her stomach or colon. That means we still don't know the cause of her anemia, so she has to get another simple test on Monday. After her success story today though I'm expecting great things.
Go Mom!

Yay!
Wow, you've been quite the caretaker for the past few weeks. Are you going to treat yourself to a massage or something special?
Something special? No massage in the works but I did have a few days off last week and took full advantage of the ability to sleep in. It was wonderful!
