What the endoscopy camera found

The camera I swallowed found small irregularities at the end of my small intestine. My doctor believes they are leaking blood vessels which have become fragile due to aging (hah!) and my long term use of the drug, coumadin, which is a blood thinner.

My doctor claims it is not bad news and he can cauterize them with a colonoscopy. I will schedule one tomorrow.
