It is no small statement to say that a lot has happened since Oct 1.
After 2 years of having my wife beg me, as well as my doctor saying each year it is only smart. I went in for my over 50 colonoscopy. The worst part was prepping for it but that wasn't even that bad.
I awoke from the process to hear the Doctor telling Nat "Thank you! You pretty much saved his life. If he had waited a few more years it could be really bad."
Now that is not what I expected to hear.
Turns out they found a "mass". The tests showed that it is pre/early cancer.
So I then had a CT Scan (turned out normal).
Met with a surgeon, (he says it is more of a extermaly large pollop) discussed options...well the only option, surgery, first part of Nov.
Went to my regular Doctor, for my yearly physical plus more tests than normal. Still ahead, I get to have a meeting with a cardio specialist and have a stress test.
Then I get to spend 3-5 days in the hospital and recovery from that...November will be interesting.
So grateful that I have a wife that is so supportive and positive, even when we don't know exactly what is going on.
For a family that is supportive with faith and prayers.
Friends that come up, give me a hug and whisper, we are praying for you.
For my kids that give me unconditional love.
For Little J whose laugh on a video brightened a very down day (Thanks Jo)
And for Boo who in her 2 year old wisdom came up the other night, gave me a big hug, almost choking me. Looked me in the eye, patted my head and said "You be ok dadee...ok?"
