Another procedure

Dr. Styne's office called earlier today to let me know he's out of town until the middle of next month. I figured, no prob, I'll wait. But Catherine wasn't thrilled with waiting. So I called Dr. Z's office to get his opinion.

Turns out, he called Dr. Styne's group and spoke with Dr. Henry Levine, (photo from the Center's Web site) who founded the Center for Digestive Health. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry, so I'm going to have the endoscopy with dialation on Friday morning.

I have to be there by 6:30 a.m. and the procedure is an hour later.

I presume they'll just go in, widen the stricture I've mentioned earlier and send me home a short time later.

At least, that's what I hope.
