DizRotus Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I was punctuated years ago. I now have a semi-colon after partial resection of my sigmoid colon secondary to diverticulitis. The first surgeon the hospital sent to discuss the surgery wouldn't make eye contact. On the recommendation of a neighbor, who was a surgical nurse, I met with another colo-rectal surgeon. I chose him because he was not intimidated by my yellow legal pad full of questions, plus, he had small hands so I figured he'd only need a tiny incision. The point of the foregoing ramble is that I must get a colonoscopy every 5 years. It's not fun, but colon cancer would be worse. One time I called to schedule an appointment and a woman answered the phone, "Oakland Colon-Rectal, can you hold?" When she came back on the line I asked if they could come up with a different way to put people on hold. To many of the callers the answer might be, "No, that's why I'm calling." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Morning guys. I had a colonoscopy about a month ago. One polyp was removed......now good for 5 years. Not too bad Steve. Certainly better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick Was pg 661 ever found? I'll have to check. Talked to a FB friend who is a gun fancier and he has me about talked into building my own AR-15 from parts. Says it is a lot of fun to shoot something you build yourself.....I guess Got out your stretch pants or are you going to do what dtel does and stay in a loose bathrobe all day Wonder if Steve puts catsup on his faux turkey? Must be rough to be a vegetarian this time of year. If I don't get back here today.....you guys have a great Thanksgiving. Post some photos of your meal please Cheers Ladies and Gents 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckAb3 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Happy Thanksgiving Eve guys. Got my turkey brine ready almost and about to give the bird a 24 hr cold soak for tenderness and flavor. Still planning on smoking it with pecan wood for a couple of hours and transferring it to the oven. May need my parka and snow boots, but what the hell. Big Stew, I just had that procedure done about 10 days ago and it just isn't that big-a-deal compared to the benefits. It is SO worth it. You will be fine and will get through it with flying colors. 3 or 4 of our friends have also had it done recently. Enough for a focus group!! Gotta get busy here but will try to check back in a while. Cheers to all. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Good morning gang 33 and dam sure feels like it, im layered w/ski cap, double foot heaters. Coffee/Duggans is 50' away, suppose i shoud fetch it. Colon talk eh? Once they get their hands on my azz (Pun Intended) ill likely be getting my Nap for the day. Nobody has been asking, noboby has been saying i need one, but i do think im about due for a 5point inspection. Next week i tap into the SS system, it's time, it's due, and im ready to party on their dime. Dodge hub/Drum is sitting here looking at me, im good with that. The forum Drama queens are back in full force if anyone has noticed lately, appears they are tired of Chatting up on the BS thread, right back to being the open internet again. I came to an Audio forum to get away from standard web trolls, but alas im trying to ignor Their pittyfull mindless rant, making the Klipsch forum NO better than any other POS out there. <Rant Off> Coffee tasting mighty fine, wife to be in the kitchen for the next 24Hrs, im mean hey, i did give her a chance for Reno, but she does like to cook.

Moderators dtel Posted November 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2015 Wonder if Steve puts catsup on his faux turkey? Must be rough to be a vegetarian this time of year. Or any time of the year, I like vegetables but I think they are designed to be on the side of meat, kind of an after thought. Good luck Steve, just remember don't schedule it on hump day ! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted November 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2015 Haven't been around much, just busy, plus I don't care to read about peoples opinions of serious subjects around the world. It seems some like to debate just to debate, not interested myself. So instead of the usual moderators talking about if something should be zapped I might just zap them and let them deal with it. I am sure I will make new friends like that. Or they will zap me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Good mid morning gang I see iv upset yet another internet troll, when they follow you around and get themselfs off by jabbing at you, you know you have hit a nerve....
