Only a pleasure my friend, and as we grow older birthdays have started to lose their shine !LOL
Grandpa, shovelling snow and picking up the granddaughter at least keeps you busy. A big change from your days at work and taking photos of the big buildings in the city.
MY mind is on Friday and my Cardiac treadmill stress test, which I have to do before the Cardiologist will clear me for surgery, am hoping I get the clearance if I have blockages around my hear they will want to clear those first which would dela my surgery for a year and I just want it over and done with
Ohh yeah a big change from my working days but loving them
Whoa! I didn't know that you need surgery JJ?
My last cardiac treadmill test was a real issue, as the guy kept on increasing the speed of the mill, and I forced my gammy left leg to keep up. In the meantime, my shoulder was damaged from hanging on.
I hope that your issue is not serious my friend.
Yeah, I remember discussing your pending retirement with you some years ago. A different life mate.
I did one a few years ago, back before I had the stents inmy legs and my legs cramped up badly but I tried to keep going but then they stopped because I got an irregular heart beat, I am hoping that was becaus eof the cramping, and it goes fine this time
My issue isnt to serious, basically I have bene havign colonoscopies every 6 months and each time I have had more polyps, 20+ last time, my brother back in NZ the same, so we both were giving genetic tests and both have a gene that gives us a high chance for Colon Cancer ( by high like 95% at my age) and the Dr felt that even though I have bene lucky and none have turned cancerous yet, that 6 monthly colonoscopies will not keep it at bay and referred me to an oncology surgeon who ageed and they are planning to remove mos tof my colon only leaving a small section where it connects to the rectum
A fairly serious surgery, he said 5 to 7 hours long if all goes well and then a week in hospital again if all goes well
Me being me I told the surgeon I am an over acheiver so Surgery will be just under 5 hours and I will be good to be released fromthe hospital in 4 or 5 days :)
Now I remember that one that you had years back, and we also discussed it.
Your situation is indeed serious, and the doctor is correct that the colonoscopies will not be able to cure it. I say that its serious as one doesn't want to fool with cancerous polyps, but I just wish that there is a better way to rectify the gene. Apparently not to be and when are you going in for the operation?
I did do some research and it does seem the best option for the long term off to the medical clinic for the stress test in an hour and a half, lets hope that goes well I think I am more concerned if the Cardiologist finds blockages and wants to clear those first as she said if she does and puts in a stent then I would have to stay on blood thinners for a year and my surgery would have to be delayed till after that and I am more concered about the 6 monthly colonoscopies not keeping the cancer at bay
Thanks so much my friend, was a quiet day some snow shovelling to start the day and then just went out to pick up the grand daughter from school
