"Come Little Leaves"

Lynette saw a framed copy of these lyrics in her brother's house.  When she looked on the web she found this lovely song, just in time for the season.  "Come Little Leaves" (Here's the full version of the original song) "Come, little leaves," said the wind one day, "Come over the meadows with me, and play; Put on your dresses of red and gold; Summer is gone, and the days grow cold." Soon as the leaves heard the wind's loud call, Down they came fluttering, one and all; Over the brown fields they danced and flew, Singing the soft little songs they knew. "Cricket, good-bye, we've been friends so long; Little brook, sing us your farewell song- Say you're sorry to see us go; Ah! you are sorry, right well we know." "Dear little lambs, in your fleecy fold, Mother will keep you from harm and cold; Fondly we've watched you in vale and glade; Say, will you dream of our loving sha

Doctor Exam Went Well!

Great news, this new gastroenterologist agrees with my usual gastroenterologist  that I don't need to have any cauterization.  According to my previous test results, I don't need to have anything done. He believes that with some of the newer treatments doctors are looking for a disease to cure, even if it's not necessary. So I'll stay on my Prilosec (omeprazole) 40 mg twice a day and come back in three years for another endoscopy.  For flareups I'll just use Tums, Gas-X and over the counter Zantac 300 mg. He gave me this handout:

Appointment with a Gastroenterologist

Sorry I haven't posted much this week.  I'm having some issues with my Barrett's Esophagus. Here's some information if you're interested. It's a  complication of GERD, which stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease;  A digestive disease in which stomach acid or bile irritates the food pipe lining. My pain is lower than in the chest. In  Barrett's esophagus , normal tissue lining the  esophagus  -- the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach -- changes to tissue that resembles the lining of the intestine. There is a small risk of dysplasia (   pre-cancerous). Here's my condition. I have it checked every few years as the doctor recommends but lately I'm having trouble with gas and a small amount of pain.  I've tried altering my diet with only minor improvement. This Friday I'm seeing a different doctor for another opinion. Hopefully I'll only need an increase or change of medication, not something like ca

Clearbrook Park October 2016

I went for a walk this morning in Clearbrook Park near my home.  This time of year is just before when the leaves begin to change into their Autumn colors. This short bridge near the entrance goes over a stream which comes from the lake in the park. For exercise I often walk through the park for about forty minutes.
