Its all downhill from here

I know that these updates are becoming few and far between. This is mainly for two reasons. One, I doubt the attention span of the vast majority of my audience can last for a continuous month. The other is that my activities have basically consisted of nothing. Oh, if only I was lying. As much as everyone complains about having too much work and not enough free time, it is actually much better than the alternative. The slow train to boredom and insanity has already left the station. Sure, I have tried to keep busy with assorted chores, but it certainly does not occupy 40 hours per week.

On to the main reason for this update. Last Thursday (the 3rd) I had my follow-up flex sig. I believe that we all recall my earlier explanation. It didn't go too badly. Unfortunately, I do not have the rapport with this particular surgeon that I have had with previous doctors, so I had to watch my language. As with any procedure that is performed on me, there was a small audience to observe this medical oddity. It wouldn't be the same if there wasn't. Dr. Heise tried to reassure me once I disrobed that they were there to look in my backside, not at it. This was not reassuring at all. I expect nothing less than to be ogled.

Once the camera was inside and past the staples, I ventured a peek at the monitor. It didn't look too bad compared to other pictures I have seen of my dearly departed diseased and ulcerated colon. He said that everything looked good and that we would schedule the next step (the barium test) in a couple of weeks. If everything looks good with that, I might have the takedown done by the end of July. That would be the last step, at least for a while. He also mentioned that things may need to be...stretched out down there. This process is similar to basically a colonoscopy, but with much more barbaric intentions. If that is the worst that I need to worry about though, I can handle it.

So to sum everything up, I am doing well (except for the boredom), and everything is on schedule and looking good. I will update again in a couple of weeks once the barium test is done and hopefully the takedown is scheduled.
