I would think the Doc should tell you.

You will be fine David. You owe me an "epic" herf as you put it. I'm holding you to that, 1/2 blood or not.

Hang in there David, and best wishes for some positive results.

Colonoscopies aren't that bad. It's the colonoscopy prep kit you have to take the night before that sucks. But hey, you'll be 5-8 pounds lighter in the morning, so it's all good!

Correct. I'm no doctor, I only stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

But it is my understanding that you haven't really "lost half of your blood". Your red blood count is low. Follow me?

Thanks Gerard; hell, I needed to go on a diet.

Ah, gotcha, thank you.

Cyanide is a doctor and happy to answer questions.

Hope you get it figured out soon and are felling better. Positive thoughts going your way.

Congrats to you and the Missus.

Thanks Ian, very much.

Oh God....

You know, Perry, mrsreindeer cooked up some awesome hat just last night for me for my birthday, I'm good....really. Really really good there. But I really appreciate your suggestion.

Appreciate you guys cheering me up; it's working. I already feel like I have a higher blood count due to good vibes.

Thanks so much John....I'll likely be shooting you a PM soon.
