Health Update, February 2025: When Looking Young Gives One Pause

Everything is good with my UC. I have an appointment with a family doctor in a month, so then I'll hopefully be able to find out what is going on with my blood.

I had my first appointment with a new G.I. doctor about three weeks ago (because we moved.) He's ordered blood tests and a stool test, which is not bad. I haven't had a stool test since I was first diagnosed four years ago. It's probably time.

But I have to say, he is young. At least he looks young. Like he's getting ready to take his driver's license exam.

He is also a bit . . . gung-ho? Excitable? Over the top? He reminds me of a student on the high school pep squad or cheerleader team trying to get the school body pumped up for a rival football game. Maybe I'm just used to my previous G.I. doctor who was older than me, but this new young doctor is a little hard to take. I'll wait and see if my lingering doubts about him persist or disappear.
