September 2010 - The Puzzle

The gastroenterologist recommended an endoscopy as well as a colonoscopy and remarked that Jeff's blood counts were "a puzzle."  The two procedures were done on subsequent days because insurance doesn't cover both on the same day.  Neither showed anything abnormal and he was referred to a hematologist (count: doctor #3).  Jeff went to East Aurora, NY, for two weeks at the end of September to install the kitchen cabinets he spent the summer building.  When he returned he visited Dr. Kennedy for more blood work.  He quipped, "They tell me my body isn't making enough blood so what do they do?  Keep taking more!"
