Session 20

Session 20 March 19
This Friday session was most notable for being at 8:20 in the morning. It worked for me because it freed up my morning so I could be available for March madness with Matt without interruption. It required a big accommodation from Cherie and she stepped up, allowing me to drop her at work before 8. This allowed me to use the car. Support comes in many ways. I was in and out in less than an hour and continued on my run with no comment on gas in my colon. My enzymes and my diet shift seem to do the trick. My gut doesn’t feel good but it’s doing it without gas. The whole business about full bladder and empty colon is always coming up in the waiting area and the teams don’t always handle it the same way. For example I’m on Syn1 and wait in the same area as Syn2. The therapists from that team are always asking about when patients last drank water and last voided. People have to drink more and wait. My impression is that this is rare for our Syn1 group although this is not a scientific sample. Sometimes you have to wait a long time past your appointment when they are busy and on occasion you just have to go. I’ve done that and popped a few cups of water, gone in a few minutes later and not had a problem. Is this team culture at work?

It was good on Friday to know that I was done until Monday and could loosen up a little on diet for the rest of Friday and Saturday. March Madness with Matt was a lot of fun. The May like weather continued and we went for little walk, not too much time away from the games.
