THE SURGEON

 


We did not not know we were going to see a surgeon.  

We were ushered into her small office where she sat on a stool facing dad and I on the chairs.  She was dressed in scrubs which I thought unusual .  She seemed kind and asked some questions.  She informed us she does colonoscopy and polypectomy.  She does not order any blood work or suggest any test to see is that was what dad needed.

We felt that there should be further investigation first.  She was not helpful but said he needed to see his doctor again.  Dad came away with a form to fill out if and when he decided to have the surgery.

Believe or not we ended up on the wrong floor of this big building.  That was laughable.

Earlier in our drive we had seen a car speeding through a red light and nearly run over a family with small children.  It was at the stop light at 64.  We were in shock.  It was so close and would have been a tragedy. 

We came home with no helpful things to tell us what to eat.  She suggested metamucil for I.B.S.   

Dad had a bad night last night and is very unhappy today.

I am glad we are going to have a visit with Kim at Carol and Panteli's.

Sandra is also going.

WE know we will have a good time.

I would think an Colonoscopy is what you need ?? Sorry Dad not feeling well. I cant go to Tylers wedding , even with14 days quarantine , they say a wedding is not reason enough to enter Queensland. The Queensland premier is being very very nasty . One girl was denied access to see her dying father , when she finally got there her father had passed . She was from Canberra where there have been no COVID 19 cases for over 60 days !!!

That is very strict Kenny. I find that the fear of Covid has become over proportioned to the risks.

It was good to see Kimberly again, it was a lovely night and always so pretty to be driving home facing the mountains as the sun is setting.
