Been having some issues...will spare the details. But the doc felt it was bad enough to warrant a scope...right now. So today at noon i go in to find out WTF. Who knows what it is, all of the symptoms point to two things but lean heavily towards the worst, but the doc wont say it....so we will have a better idea today of whats going on up in there. I am not to worried about it, and i am trying to find the humor in it all...i know marks got some issues too, maybe someone needs to sacrifice some blood and a motor to the hot rod gods in our name...might help move things along for us lol!

Joe, I've literally been there with the worse news. Any questions or anything let me know - okay? and trust me, it's far better to not be there for the procedure (figuratively speaking).Doing it all wrong since 1966Comment

Ha! It IS a PITA, quite literaly...this stuff they make you drink...holy cow...i think i may have dropped a lung last night.
at the minimum it is fissures, next is colitis, than the C bomb... I mention it here cuz if i dont I will dwell on it ans then start to stress...then it is hard to laugh at.
SBG, thanks man...i may just take you up on that...
i think the worst part is i have not had any food since Tuesday night at about 8...i am starving...some of you know how much i like my food...this here is torture!Last edited by JOES66FURY; September 22, 2011, 09:53 AM.If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark DonohueComment

Good Luck Joe, hope everything will be ok.....Comment

Joe we're all thinking about ya. Sure hope the news is on the okay side of the spectrum.
Since you said you're trying to maintain your humor about it (and that's the greatest thing - good for you), here's a story about a procedure that came out okay. But the procedure itself (or at least the lead-up to it) sounds like it was no walk on the beach:

As Peewee mentioned, the prep is the worst part and that's over. That is, the worst part of the procedure. Now as far as what they'll find - here's hoping for the best possible news. Either way, it's best to know what reality is even if reality sucks. Then you can do what's needed and move on with a good and content life (positive thinking here).

Good deal, Joe. Get that repair done and get back on the road. And let this be a lesson to you - if they can make something out of your 'ol butt then you can make something outta that ol' Plymouth!
