Turned 50 and my fears have subsided...
Finally had the infamous colonoscopy... I've dreaded this. I've rarely had to endure the 'finger wave'... rarely thought about this subject at all...... until recently. The big 50.
My Uncle Vic survived prostate cancer. My brother in law Mike survived prostate cancer. I lost my older sis to breast cancer. I lost a friend of mine to pancreatic cancer..... Deep down... I was nervous I would come out of that procedure and hear.... "Mr. Lossner, we've got some bad news for you ........"
I'm at a point in my life where things are good! My marriage... my family....my job... my finances... my hobbies... life is just damned good! Deep down, I was worried a twist to the whole merry thing was just around the corner. Didn't help that I've had to deal with hemorrhoids as of late. Anyone that has gone to the rest room and seen blood where it's never been before.. That’ll make you nervous!
The good news.... Clean bill of health. During the initial colonoscopy, they took care of the hemorrhoid issue. So, few more days... I'm back in the gym. I've cut back on my coffee intake. I'm reducing my body weight (not happy with the latest blood pressure numbers or cholesterol indicators). I'm reducing my alcohol intake (never that much, but I historically can party with the best of them!)..... Looking like the second half of the century is going to be a good one........... !
