Not this again....shit
Some elljay friends were wondering what I've been up to lately...
The past two weeks have been kinda worrysome for me..I'll explain:
I've been having some health issues, particularly in my lower belly region. I constantly feel like I have a knot down there. Sadly, it feels just like it did in 2001 ( before I had this journal) when it turned out that I had a condition called diverticulitis...Long story short, it has to do with my colon..In 2001, I had surgery to remove the six inches of bad colon, and they re-sectioned it....I've felt okay down there since then...till now...
I went to my family doc and he's sending me for a CT scan today.....I also have an appointment with the specialist who did the surgery previously. I'm sure he's gonna schedule me for the dreaded colonoscopy...I've had them before, and they suck...well, the actual procedure isnt so bad 'cause your under some kinda twilight anesthesia thats pretty kool, but, the "prep" the day before is what really blows...yeah, it involves "cleansing" ...and NO food except clear liquids for 24 hours before the scope....The good thing tho, is that immediately after the procedure, he tells ya what he's seen...no anxious three-day waiting for the results...so, I guess in the next few weeks or so, ill get to the bottom of whats goin on in me...
The thing that kinda pisses me off is that, since the first episode, I really was trying to eat healthy....I try to have at least one fresh vegetable a day, and maybe a piece of fruit....and, I try to limit my intake of junky stuff to once or twice a week...
Alright, I hope this post didnt contain TMI....but, in addition to lettin' yas know whats goin on with me, it also serves as a place where I can come back to in case I need to check dates of appointments and days off from work and such......Cyas..
