Where did May go???

So LOTS is happening around here! As for the meeting, we have officially been approved for 3 CME credits for physicians who attend the morning sessions at the meeting. SO COOL! This means they get educational CME (Continuing Medical Education) credits for attending a HIRSCHSPRUNG'S MEETING! YAY!!!! I still haven't gotten any news about funding, but please keep your fingers crossed! Everything is a go for the meeting. Hotel rooms are still open.
Please contact me if you would like to come or have questions about the meeting or surrounding area.

As for me, I made it through my EGD and Colonoscopy with flying colors! :-) The EGD was a breeze. I was very worried about the colonoscopy, but made it through the prep without an ER visit for dehydration, which was the goal. :-) They took biopsies throughout. All biopsies came back normal. One polyp was removed and sent to path. It came back as hyperplastic (stage 2 of 4). It is pre-cancerous, but VERY common....nothing to worry about. I need to go back in 5 years for another colonoscopy or sooner if more problems. It's just that I didn't think I'd be doing the whole "colonoscopy schedule routine" for a few more years. Twenty-nine is too young for this shit. ;-)
