32. Here's hoping they can cure what ails you

My last colonoscopy was a month ago- At least this time, they didn't fuck up and tell me to go off my blood thinners for ten days prior. They did that in 2011, and it got me my first genuine bona fide heart attack. A cardiologist came down to the emergency room and asked what idiot told me to go off the blood thinners for ten days? I noticed that this time, the form said FIVE days. Somebody learned their lesson. It takes ten days for the white blood cells to generate to the point where heart patients with stents will have their stents clog up to the point where their function is negated.

Both my parents and ALL their siblings had cancer. With me, it's not a question of "if," but "when." My wife has already had it once, and her mom has had it twice. They beat it. Hope never dies until we do.

Hang in there, and let us know! And NEVER doubt for a moment that modern medicine has a good chance of beating whatever it is you have! They can do all sorts of amazing stuff these days.
