Uncle Dáin goes under the knife.
« on: September 22, 2008, 11:48:57 AM »
Well, kind of.

I've always been blessed with good health. I don't eat like I should (who does?), I don't exercise like I should (again, like 95% of Americans :P), yet I've still been blessed with a good strong body and, aside from a wee bit more waistline than I should have, no real issues with my body or health.

Until a few months ago, that is. I won't go into great detail, but I started having some...uh...digestional issues. Nothing bad, and nothing regular, but uncomfortable in actuality and as a conversational topic. :roll:

It hasn't gotten better, and in fact, it seems over the last couple weeks to have gotten a bit worse. I finally went to the doctor last week, and after turning all kinds of different shades of red during the consultation and *ahem* examination, I'm slated to have a colonoscopy on Thursday, which means I'll be pretty incapacitated Wednesday evening and most of the day Thursday. Assuming I'm not of the 0.35% that has a serious problem during the surgery or get diagnosed with a serious issue (which neither I nor the doctor expect, but better safe than sorry!), I should be back on my (iron :P) feet by Friday.

It's really not a big deal, but because I HAVE been pretty healthy, any kind of surgerical procedure is a little unsettling simply because of lack of experience being put under and poked and prodded. So, I'm not fishing for a bunch of "we'll be praying for you"s or "hope all goes well"s or the like, but it WOULD be nice if those of you that DO pray could put in a good word for me with the Big Guy. ;) I know He's up there and in control, but it never hurts to put a bug in His ear, ya know? :lol:

So, yeah. That's it. Get back to the wild and wacky topics elsewhere on the forums and I'll stop dragging things down. Promise. :mrgreen:

You won't be in my prayers, because I don't pray.

That said, good luck, and the night before really is the worst part about that whole deal, hopefully they'll put you under during the embarassing part.

LOL.  Probably a lot of air that seeps out uncontrollably since they have to move things around.  :gah:

 [-o< for  Dain.  Don't worry man everthing will be cool.  Everyone should get a Colonoscopy from time to time.
