Endo day at the hospital

Today I was observing in the endoscopy department all day. I watched 3 or 4 EGD's (down the throat scopes); 3 or 4 colonoscopies (up the rear scopes); 1 ERCP (shooting dye into the common bile duct to make sure the ducts are still patent, and the clip is still holding where the gallbladder used to be); and a bronchoscopy with biopsy under fluroscopy (real-time X-ray) THAT was really neat.

Joe'l came up to Bloomington and we went out to eat at Red Lobster. Bella is staying with her grandparents for the weekend.

I can not believe what I am reading...boy have you come a long ways! I am proud of your accomplishments! Didn't think I would see the day you watched ER much less work in one! Couldn't believe it when Des told me you were going to Nursing school...becoming one of the great profession!!!
