We went to the doctor so Ellen could have her colonoscopy today. It took a surprisingly short amount of time, about an hour and a half. The bad news is that they found a mass in her rectum. They are doing a biopsy and we are supposed to see the doctor about the results on Thursday. At first I was a little concerned about the speed of the appointment. Then I decided that maybe that's how it's always handled. Of course it's no use asking the doctor to speculate.
After that Ellen wanted to eat since she hadn't eaten in almost two days. We stopped at this place on Manchaca that we hadn't been to before because the parking lot was crowded. It turned out to be a pace that served coffee and beer. That's all, just coffee and beer. Only in Austin (or maybe Portland). There was a Dan's hamburgers next door, so we went there.
We really needed groceries, so we stopped at the yuppie grocery store. It was just a few blocks away. We also stopped at the dog cookie store and got Lucy a couple of gourmet dog cookies (the dog wasn't with us). Then it was the post office and home.
The dog was sure glad to see us when we got home. She got one of the cookies and she really liked it. It was frosted and she ate it on the carpet. After it was done she licked the carpet to make sure she'd gotten every bit of frosting.
That was pretty much it for the day. A little surfing and TV in the evening along with football.
