I'm dealing with only 90% of my colon and 5 feet of intestine left while trying to maintain a cheery face/attitude on a everyday basis. Which, I've decided, on most days, I do. At the beginning of my new life I did not realize how grateful I would become for the opportunity to continue living and will see what the Creator has in store for me. * *BTW: shitz* - Just another way of saying crap, (noun), and is used to express anger or frustration or confusion or excitement etc... Take your pick

Exciting life
Live a real exiting life - - as evidenced by the lack of posts.
My biggest drama and excitement? My INR shot up to 4.8 with no rational reason... everyone seems (except me) to be a little bit panicked...
Such a life.

When it rains it pours.
No sniveling here BUT if it ain't my luck. I've known for a while I had a lump in my left boob but it was no big deal Until it started to hurt. How I found out there was pain is when my little doggie jumped up to sit on my lap and he leaned against my chest and I felt the pain. Goofy pain instead of being warm it felt cold. Did nothing about it since I knew I had an upcoming primary care visit.
Well yesterday was the visit and I told the doc about the lump. He did his touchy feely thing and said yep, there's a lump. Things then got serious.
Anyway on Friday I am going to the radiology center (same one my wife goes to) and going to have a sonogram done with the possibility of a needle biopsy.
Told my wife last night if it is cancer I am going to enlist whatever/whoever lawyers who work on behalf veteran's and hire them and go after the VA. I've know about the cover up regarding agent orange since the VA released the documents in 2010. I was station at Korat RTAFB in Thailand where agent orange was sprayed in the bomb dump while I was stationed there.
I did not want the hassle, and believe me it would be dealing with the VA, of dealing with it since I have real good insurance etc etc after spending 33.5 years with the Air Force. But I swear by all that is holy I will go bankrupt in going after the VA.
Gotta stop for now getting too wound up.

2nd post today - This one about birthdays
My birthday is coming up on the 24th. I need nothing and I want nothing. Gonna have a quiet day - which, by the way, would be a normal day anyway.
Maybe play a little HALO - - smile
BUT I am going to sound mean spirited now.
My daughter's birthday is the 23rd. Cool.... But so is my real brothers. I have no wish to say happy b'day to him at all. It has been 4 years 8 months since I came out of the hospital after having the heart attack and my intestines removed.
In all that time he has never asked me once how I was doing, NOT ONE FUCKING TIME. I get it, I have nothing he needs and since our sister has died, nothing even close to something resembling a relationship. In the beginning I called him twice to just talk but nothing out of him since. I understand he lives in Ohio - I mean that is so far away and all but c'mon not even a Facebook message or a text, or a tweet. Jesus have mercy on me.
I'm sorry I just can't be a good enough christian to let it slide.
Oh well. So much for being a nice guy.............
I get it also that the above sounds clipped when you read it but I just don't feel like making it smoother..

September 2014 weight stats
My bowel movements have drastically changed since I have had all my teeth pulled out. I started to eat (kinda/sorta) protein shakes using the GNC Pro Performance® Mass XXX™ - Vanilla Milkshake protein mix. Damn, this stuff is good. I never would have EVER EVER EVER thought I would say something like that.
Simple shake consisting of 2 Banana's, teaspoon of peanut butter, 2-3 scoops of GNC, 1 cup whole milk, and whatever type of frozen berries we have on hand (although the cherries are best!), plus cup of ice or 10 ice cubes. Oh but they taste so good.........
Anyway, I am having a NORMAL (Oprah/Dr Oz) movement in the AM and who woulda thunk that.
Maybe one an hour later or so and then I am just like normal people. Been like this for a month or so and you can see it is reflected in my weight stats.

March 2015 Weight Stats
Weather is starting to warm up nicely and my body is responding well to the warmth.
Still playing Halo - for the second time. Damn I can't believe I'm doing it. Oh well now (should) need to look for another FPS game.
Not even going to use this forum to vent as I start to remember my sister.
Data for March

Pain?
Weight is 157.5
2nd day in a row woke up and was in NO, I repeat NO pain. The healing on my right thigh in the groin area has finally scabbed over. Scabs have formed that are not being pulled off of the scar.
It is nice to walk around and have no pain.
Saw primary care doc yesterday. Since 'MY CHART" is goofed up (long story but will leave it at that). Nurse and the doc got stuck on the tests outlined in my chart that were directed at the diabetes portion. Told them they were not reading/understanding what occurred on 10 July 2010.
Hey when ya go from 203 lbs to a 122 lbs one of the problems I had went a away. No longer take Metformin, no longer have to check my sugar. et etc.
Damned if they didn't believe me and did the glucose test on me. Result was a 4.7. They drooled all over that. Being a little bit of an ass I said "I told you so".
Gonna be snow showers tonight .... sucks.

Jan 2015
I can't believe that I have just plain forgotten about this blog. Would I say that is because it has overshadowed by events? Would I say the self-pity portion of my soul caused me to forget? After all, this is supposed to be where I whine and cry tand try o relieve myself of the emotional baggage I carry around. (if, indeed, I have such baggage) At this point I really care.
PLUS it has been snowing here and I KNOW I HAVE Seasonal Affected Disorder.
God How I hate snow or rather the COLD.....
Poor me....
Lets see: July had all teeth pulled and have store bought teeth created. Bottoms fit and work great but the top dentures suck. Really, seriously, honest. When I talk they whistle. Anyway have to go back to the dentist. They are aware of of but the holiday got in the way plus the operation in December.
Yeah, in the middle of December, I went in for an operation that should have lasted at the most an hour 1and a half to unblock my femoral artery in the right leg, but lasted 5 1/2 hours. Damn....
They put a stent in my left leg but tore my right leg apart. Have an 8 inch scar and been fighting the infection around the stitches. Talked with the doc about it but so far been able to deal with it via a topical anti-bacterial cream.
I think today might be the last time I use the cream and leave the would open to the air to help heal it.
Gonna put a couple of pics that do not do justice to how back and blue my whole leg became.
Ok, done for now..

October 2014 Weight Statistics
Not putting in the same amount of information as before but still charting. Have exceeded the original goal but am not actually trying to be over 160. Not quite sure on how to proceed. I know the weight gain is because I am, increasingly, having normal bowel movements. Way less diarrhea.
I really believe my intestines have now grown in diameter (girth) and am now able (starting) to absorb more nutrients. Which is a good thing.
Did something this month and will see how well it turns out. Have requested and have a new Primary Care Doctor. Without going into a lot of detail, I lost trust. We will see how the new doc is.
