Dana's Animated Mind

I have recently spoken to a doctor on Wednesday, and in consideration I am doing ok. What occurs in my life is perfectly normal given my condition. In a few weeks, I shall endure my fifth colonscopy I had in my lifetime. You are probably going "Damn dude, you didn't even seem sick"

Here is the eerie part: I am not. That is not what they are checking. Granted, when I had my last four colonoscopy, I was ulcerating, but they were checking to make sure I wasn't developing cancer as well. Colon Cancer is one of those dangerous killers although with the other ones they talk about so often.

To me, Ovarian, Prostate, and Colon are probably up there because they are hard to detect in time. By the time they correctly diagnosis these forms it is far too late. Well, with Colitis my chances of cancer are increased and this is not a chance I want to take.

The good news is if everything checks out, I will not need this for another eight years. Given my previous blog, you probably understand my sentiments to this. I am a strong bastard, but sometimes there are there things I don't want to risk.

Right now, at work we are adding more to my teams workforce so I may not be wearing myself out as often. Hopefully they don't change my days off, but this is out of my hands. However, if I can literally leave at 11 o'clock because all my work is done...and the last chat is gone, you know how happy I will be?

Imagine this: For the last couple of weeks I been getting out at 11:30-11:45 at night. A few of those nights it has been 12. That can be exhausting, and sometimes I am not surprised I got an infection in my nostrils. However, they did see this on the team so they added more to the team. With a hope..a prayer..and some good luck, we will rock them all:)
