Sorry yall, I have not been giving AAB my full attention due to worrying/taking care of Mrs Welder [Claudia] the last 3 weeks have been "Code No Joy" at our house.
Claudia takes very good care of herself [ unlike me ] and read the warning signs early , first sign of blood and tummy pain, and made ANOTHER appt. for a Colonoscopy [spl] and sure enough there was a large polyp up where the large intestine meets the small intestine and that doctor did not want to try and remove it as the Appendix was right on the other side of the colon wall and if he hit it she could bleed out right there on the table.
So to be safe he had her make another appt with another surgeon to do a "Section" whice means... cut a chunk of colon out, about 8", and of course it's where the large and small come together [ Oh What FUN]
Doc #1 said the large polyp looked good and only about 25% chance of being cancerous, well, doc #2 went ahead and did the surgery as if it was so he would not have to go back and wack it again. He also took the appendix.
The news finally came to us this AM that Claudia is cancer free now and we're on the road to recovery. She will be off work for at least 2 weeks and if it all heals fine it's life as normal.
The reason I'm telling yall what has happened in our life is that I/we do CARE about everyone here and having a simple 10 minute procedure can save you or your wifes LIFE , yeah drinking the crud sucs but dieing is worse.
Claudia had the procedure done NINE years ago and was CLEAN, she was told to come back in 10 years for another check up, ya see where I'm going here people. IF she would have waited another year I might be single. After 35 years with her, I think I'll keep her if you don't mind.
And yes I have done it twice and am going again in 11 months , I'm on the 2 year plan and that's another story.
I'm just HAPPY I still have my wife, THANK YOU Lord.
P.S. IF any of you are afraid of getting checked you are welcome to call us and ask what's involved with the procedure, it's so easy a caveman can do it!
