Gonna be a long day...

Steve · 01-19-2017, 10:06 AM

I gotta go in for the annual scoping tomorrow, so I am on a "clear liquid" diet for the next 24 hours. Unfortunately, I couldn't convince the docs that single malt scotch was a "clear liquid."

Oh well, no one said I couldn't enjoy a cigar or two during "da purge"...

CigarNut · 01-19-2017, 10:54 AM

Been there, done that. More than once...

Hope you get a good result!

icehog3 · 01-19-2017, 10:56 AM

Hope everything comes out ok, Steve.

Fixed that for you.

I'm due for the purge this year too. Wife always asks the Doc to see if they can locate my head while they're at it.

Good luck Steve

Vodka, Gin, Crystal Pepsi all clear some just more preferred than others.

Tio Gato · 01-19-2017, 05:02 PM

Good luck Steve. If on your discharge they say "no spicy food" do NOT eat chili and Buffalo wings on the ride home. Trust me!

Personal experience, huh...

What was the end result?

Tio Gato · 01-20-2017, 04:31 AM

A lot more bowl time. Good luck Steve!

Steve · 01-31-2017, 04:14 PM

And the results of Operation Offensive Aroma are back...all clear. Now if we can just get a good report on today's MRI for Holly, I'll be digging into the aged celebratory stash!

Tio Gato · 01-31-2017, 04:34 PM

Great news for you and praying for the same for Holly.

Exactly, Jeff!

Prayers for good report Steve.

Are you awake for the procedure? I was and was watching the video screen with the doctor.

No, I really have no desire to see my insides. I have had to look at enough CT, PT, and MRIs of Holly and my dad to last me a couple of lifetimes. I enjoyed the nap. As promised, those 15-20 minutes were the best rest I think I have had in several years. Now I understand why Michael Jackson enjoyed the stuff.

Willem2 · 02-01-2017, 01:58 PM

good to hear that all is allright. Hope you Holly gets good news also.

Steve · 02-02-2017, 09:05 AM

HAPPY DAY!

Just got home from meeting with Holly's radiologist; MRI shows now new spots, no growth on any of the old spots that were treated previously, and the spots they treated in November are shrinking! Add to that a good report on her CT scan last week and my @$$ scan and we have the Trifecta of good news! A nice, aged CC and a bottle is in order this evening!
