They did a colonoscopy. Maybe bleeding polyps; they hadn't actually told
her when I spoke with her. But they started her on some medications and
she
hopes she'll get to go home tomorrow. She's still bleeding to the point
of
having to wear adult diapers (doesn't sound that great to me, but a
colonoscopy isn't exaclty a non-invasive procedure). She said she feels
fine and ate a hearty breakfast and most of her lunch. YAY!

She'll be fine; I'm convinced of it. But she doesn't want me to come down
there. I'm being urged and urged and urged again by my brother, to the
point I'm not answering the phone when he calls. Mom says a visit from me
right now would agitate my father. He's very frail. And she's the one
who
has to deal with him. It's a bit like a soap opera. I'm adhering to my
mom's wishes.

Thanks for the good wishes. Keep up the purrs, please. Mom for the
medication to work and for my dad to be a tad more cognizant.

Purrs are on the way. Bleeding from there, even profuse-looking bleeding,
isn't necessarily something lethal. I had a problem with colitis some years
ago that looked (and felt) very bad and was pretty frightening. With the
right attention and medication, it was fixed right up and never recurred.
Purrs that the colonoscopy is clear, and your relatives chill.
