Good day to you Faithful Reader!
This last week was filled with ups and downs, highs and lows, ins and outs! My wife is out of town to Newark, CA and I had the butt scoping procedure done!
Week in Review
During my last medical checkup I was told that I needed to have the much dreaded and maligned colonoscopy! Nothing to worry about, it is just to get a baseline and a good foundation. Being adopted, which sucks ass, keeps me in the dark as to what might lay ahead for me. I can say that the actual procedure was painless and I had a nice little nap. The day before however….yeah. I would have started the Dulcolax tablets a couple of hours sooner so that when I had to drink the GALLON of MiraLAX (aka the Devil’s Gatorade) I would be fully cleaned out before bedtime! Instead I had to endure cramps and excursions to the bathroom well after midnight. After it was all said and done, they found nothing out of the ordinary and everything is where it should be. Whew!
The other major event in my life was sending my wife off to California for the week. Her last business trip was to Cleveland and when she came back she went straight to the hospital for a week! She had contracted Pneumonia on a trip to Cincinnati a month previous, but it went undiagnosed. This turned into a plural effusion and almost to a heart attack! Well, now I have PTSD and I worry that something is going to happen to her. I woke up in the middle of the night with chest pains, shortness of breath and sweating. I thought I was having a heart attack!
More to come next week.
TTFN!!
