Not much progress... Granny doesn't feel well. She feels a little better after sleeping a few hours, but then starts feeling lousy within an hour or two. She is still bleeding internally as evidenced by the output in the stool. She has been on clear liquid diet since admittance to the hospital Thursday evening. She is tired of that routine as well.
Colonoscopy is still scheduled for Monday morning "some time". GI doctor suspects it will be late in the morning. Later would be better for me as I have 2 doctor appointments myself Monday and cannot be at the hospital, so it may be awhile before I get to talk to the doctor regarding the results. What they will be looking for is ulcers, lesions, tumors and they suspect it will be in the smaller intestines.
In the meantime, today is the day Granny gets "cleaned out" so they can do the colonoscopy. I know she won't like that--they will want her to drink about a half galon of this foul-tasting stuff, and she works on getting down a cup of cocoa all morning!
