What do you write about in the middle of tax season, when you are tired, and weary, and lonely – missing old friends – and you find yourself in the corner licking dastardly wounds? Well, I tell you that I’ve got just the thing.
I turned 40 on February 3rd. On February 25th, I had a colonoscopy.
Now you can read all about this lovely procedure on the internet – and I tell you that there are hundreds of websites that will give you more info that you really need. Generally, you should have a screening : when you are 50. So, why did I go under the long, slender camera-in-a-tube as a 40 year old spring chicken? Let’s just say – I was having some issues – that I no longer was willing to write off as merely stress.
Got back from the doc today – and everything is chunky-dory. (Now that’s a nasty visual.) If you want to read about my diagnosed conditions – you can mash here and mash here (I’ve got photos, if you are interested).
So, despite the rumors about my impending demise (and my failing marriage (just in case you were wondering and no one took it upon themselves to clear it up for you) – I for one am glad to say that my colon is most definitely not bringing me down.
Don’t tell anyone, but I heard that your name will be coming out soon in the Emperor’s Club scandal. ;^P
Glad to hear about the pipes.
Dude – I have been experiencing my own issues in that area. I am doing better and I am writing off as stress and dehydration. I am glad to hear you checked out OK.
Guiroo – you crack me up, man! Thanks for keeping it fun!
Yikes, you’ve had a rough few weeks!
As an encouragement, though, at least you can thank God nothing IS wrong with your “pipes” or your marriage, and that there is no confirmed demise planned for you in the near future.:0) A lot of people will go to bed tonight without faithful spouses, without healthy children, without a job, without working “pipes”, and without hope in Christ. Our cups truly overflow. :0)
If your wounds are new and fresh, I’m sorry. If they are old, please let them heal by letting them dry. Licking them only makes it worse. You’ll wind up with a nasty infection that may never heal. You gotta let them scab. And don’t pick at ‘em (if I would have listened to my mom on that, I’d have a lot fewer scars)!
Besides, a man of your age just can’t fight off infection that well anymore…:0)
Praying for you guys-
Gross Tracy, that word picture is TMTH (I learned that from American Idol. =)
I agree with you… John Lee has MUCH to be thankful for!! He has a wife who adores him, children who stand at the door and wait for him to come home, friends who care for him, and a beautiful photo of his functioning pipes!
Ooh, yeah, don’t include that pic in the Christmas Card this year…as a matter of fact, that one should probably stay out of the scrapbooks, too. Or maybe in just the “MY FAVORITE INTRUSIVE MEDICAL PROCEDURES!” scrapbook? :0)
I can’t figure out what TMTH means. I’m guessing the TM is ‘Too much..’ something. Gee,I guess I’ll just have to watch AI more diligently.
Ya’ll have a great weekend!
