Had first visit with new GI doctor this morning.

I had not met him until today.

Before he came in, I had the nurse in tears laughing, and she said "Oh, he's going to like you, he's a jokester too".

When he came in and sat down, I noticed his socks had pictures of rolls of toilet paper on them.

When I was in the hospital in October with a severe case of diverticulitis, the infectious disease doctor recommended him. She said "he's my GI doctor, and I trust him with my life".

He is very very good.

I mean, tissues are expensive.

It was a little difficult since he was still wearing them, but I managed.

You better hold on to him, but don't grip him too tightly!
