Thank you all, so very much, for the prayers and good thoughts for dh. He's home and doing very well. During the colonoscopy, they did remove a polyp, but it didn't look suspicious, just a polyp. They also biopsied a spot, but said that becuaus of the inflamation, it appears to be ulcerative colitis! He's on meds and may have to make some dietary changes, but considering what it could have been, we're quite relieved!

Jan, just now hopping on the board and so sorry that he had
to go to the hospital. But glad that it is not cancer and
that he can take meds for the u.colitis.
And thanks for trying to help me get into chat..I could see
you guys, but could not type in. Then it worked after everyone
left, LOL!!

Anyway, will keep you both in my prayers. :)

Hugs,

Jan - I bet you & dh are both relieved and yes - with medication & diet changes - things should get back to "almost normal."

Hi Jan


I am so glad it was not the big "C". Not a fun thing to have but definately can be controlled with meds and some diet changes. Give your Dh a hug from me and relax and take it easy today you both deserve a day after the weekend you have had.


Love

Oh thank Goodness that is what it is!!!! I have been worried for him on that... just had to stop and check to see if there was an update!


Now that is not fantastic news but it sure does beat what could have been!


So happy for you both!

Yay, Jan, I'm so glad it is a tolerable C-word. What's going on around here anyway with the DHs? We must be rough on 'em, eh?


Miss talking to you at chat....maybe I'll try tomorrow.
