In One End, Out the Other


Judah just got out of the O.R. apparently fine. As he was being wheeled out, his floormate Peter (with his mom in tow) was being wheeled in. Judah was lucky, his scoping was of the front side. Peter, unfortunately, was getting it the other way. The two mothers hugged in the hall. Judah is still a little loopy from the anesthesia, but he'll be fine soon. Will post more as the day progresses.
Here's a picture of what the endoscope sees as it travels through the esophagus. Then again, maybe it's not. Can you identify this object?

Hey, I finally figured out how to use this thing. Judah, did I not tell you last year the internet was going to be huge! I guess you can score one for me on that count.

Now that I have joined the blog world, I will be checking in on this and expecting uodates on your progress. I think it is nice that you have a floormate there a month ahead of you so that some of the next steps might be slightly demystified.

Anyway, when you are able to get some time and get online, I would be delighted to play a game of chess on yahoo. That should be more strategic than clue, but less so maybe than stratego, which I have not played personally, but assume is very stategic.

Looking forward to speaking directly when you feel up to it buddy!

Your friend,
Josh

Hi Judah!
I am so happy to hear how well your recovery is going! You are an inspiration to me for your strength, courage, and openness. I don't know when I will be back for a visit to LA - but you will be at the top of my "must see" list when I do. If I were there, I could be your Clue third player...but I never really understood the game...isn't it a "process of elimination" game? Or maybe I'm remembering the wrong game? In any case, Thanks for keeping me (and all the other readers) informed about what is going on - you will continue to be in my prayers.

love,

Hi Judah

I knew you had the scope today and I wanted to see how you were doing.

I stopped by the house on my way home to drop off some cookies - I know you aren't up to eating them yet but, soon...

Had a nice chat with your Grandfather - He shared some stories with me (none that would embarrass you) - as the firstborn grandson you have a very special place in his heart!

Love, Stella

Gee! No, I cannot identify the object, but I made a copy of it and put it on my filing cabinet at work, right next to pictures of family and friend grandchildren.

Shabbat shalom and love, Mrs. C.

Hi Judah,

Hope you continue to feel better and gain strength. Did you get our card? Maybe our good news cheered you up a bit...?

Shabbat Shalom,

Anyone can see it is a cherry in the middle of a glazed doughnut waiting for Judah to bite in.

Thanks for the visual aids, it does help those of us who are medically illiterates(then maybe I am speaking just for myself).

Have a shabbat shalom, with much love, Rachel

Ah shucks, we love clue. So sad to have missed it. In fact, I keep a lead pipe by the bed. Okay I'm kidding I keep a candle stick by the bed and a lead pipe next to the front door. I'm still a little nervous out here on the other coast. It's great to see your esophagus looking so pink and rosey. We're really looking forward to seeing the rest of you soon.
