Happy Halloween to those of you who celebrate.
We have our first hard freeze of the season (27 F) ( -2. C) with a light dusting of snow falling. We broke the record for lowest temp on this date but not the first time for snow. Right now I can hear the wind picking up but it is too dark outside to see the snow.
Yesterday I went for my gastroscope. I have gastritis and a polyp on my esophagus. He did a biopsy of both areas and I am to get the results on Monday. He is referring me to a specialist at a hospital in St. Louis, MO for the polyp he feels it should be removed. Who knew you could have a polyp on your esophagus..lol. It always amazes me how Drs keep getting more and more specialized. He himself is a specialist from St. Louis but has an office on this side of the river too and sees patients at several hospitals over here. He has been my Dr for about 14 years for colonoscopies and gastroscopes. I usually see him every three years for a colonoscopy due to forming polyps in my colon so often. I slept well last night most likely a lit bit of a anesthetic lingering in me.
On the way to the hospital yesterday I saw that someone knocked my mail box over. Actually sheared off the post and parts of the mail box was scattered and my mail was sitting in a puddle. They must have hit it hard since this mail box is suppose to be one that can take a hit and still not be damaged. Late evening I drove my car down the driveway to pick up the debris. Will have to wait until next week to pick up a new mailbox. This is the fourth one taken out by careless drivers.
Not much planned on today other than puttering in the house.
Gayle hope your trip to the hospital for your chemo goes well. Hope the roads are safe. Take care.
Addendum:Looks like I am a day off here. I think going to the hospital yesterday kind of threw me off.
