Visit the Doctor, Again

Dr. Tanner realizes how much cycling and bike racing means to me and he knows that riding the way I do aggravates the esophagitis. So he suggested considering the possibility of preforming laparoscopic surgery to correct the hiatal hernia and the opening of the hiatus.

More blood was sent to the lab for analysis regarding the lesions in the liver. On Monday, July 12th, a liver scan is scheduled, this is where they inject a radioisotope into a vein and a series of pictures are taken of the liver by a scanner. The doctor wants to confirm that the abnormal growths are hemangiomas.
