Well today I had the scope with several biopsies.  First into my mouth and down and through my stomach and then my colon and small intestine. Not a great day running: a small fever and feeling so grateful for the blessings of modern medicine. I cannot think what it would be like without modern day medicine and drugs. Wow how far we have come since 1963 when my Grandfather passed away. I feel sorry for my wife Jan and the journey she is going to be exposed to. This will be a great blessing for her but how difficult. The physical weakness and impairments to body and mind will greatly challenge us and could damage us. We need to keep our focus and be thankful and gain understanding. The sad thing is Jan has been working on her EdD and now she will have an experience in compassion that will equal if not parallel her advanced education.
