Update on my surgery, biopsy, etc
by asleif_dufansdottir ini had my colonoscopy and hemorrhoid surgery yesterday (sorry if that's oversharing but it's easier just to say what type of surgery up front ;) ).. the prep for the colonoscopy was difficult, i couldn't have anything but clear liquids the day before, in addition to special stuff you have to drink to, as grandpa would have said, "clean you out good", and not even water yesterday.
that was difficult because my check-in time was so late (2 pm).
that was made even worse when i got back to pre-op and the nurse said my doctor was running 2-3 hours behind due to a particularly difficult surgery that morning (just what i wanted, last surgery of a hard day!!).

No outlet for unattractive men in this society...
by Gregor inthey work hard and take care of their mothers.
they are loving uncles and kind hearted.
but they are 5'3', 290 lbs., bald at 35 and their personal interests are grounded in 3 stooges movies and star trek reruns.

Ups (finishing grad school) and downs (doc visits) ...I'm scared... :(
by asleif_dufansdottir inlast week i finished up grad school (master's degree).
i'm currently gainfully unemployed and my student health insurance runs out the first of august.. i've been to the doc so many times the last couple of weeks (sigh).
the first batch was relatively minor...i had a big splinter in my hand that the docs didn't find right away...3 visits, 2 courses of antibiotics and 2 in-office minor surgeries later, they *finally* got it out.

Medical Testing
by Sunspot ini went to the lab last week for standard tests i have every three months before my scheduled doctor's visit.
my appointment was this past tuesday and my doc said there were "some concerns" with my test results.
needless to say, it didn't sound good, and it has not even been a year (june) since i had that throat operation (cancerous parathyroid) where i was on a respirator for a week....(i started to bleed under the closed incision and stopped breathing in the recovery room)... but he had the office receptionist make an appointment for me and when they said "for may 30th" he said no, he wanted me in asap to "nip any more problems in the bud".

Attention former elders and ms: I have a question.
by R.F. ini'm currently a ministerial servant and pioneer in my congregation.
i want to begin my fade soon.
i'm going to get off the pioneer list first instead of quitting both positions at once, hopefully to ease potential gossip.
