Hi peoples!,
Didn't mean to be so closed mouthed about my checkup, I just didnt realize how many of you cared
My genius Dr. has informed me that my stomach is no longer working, I know that might sound bad but at this point, THATS the GOOD NEWS! Why sez you? Cuz it aint Cancer sez me! Dr. said they cant tell at this point why the stomach isnt functioning, it appears all the previous surgerys have damaged either the muscles that control the flow of food or the nerves that tell my stomach to digest it. T.M.I. right? well too bad! heres more- So because my stomach isnt working everytime I eat or drink anything what is happenning is the food lays in my stomach untill it rots away, nice huh? As you can imagine this creates all kinds of related problems #1 I'm not getting enough nutrition (down to 230 from 400 last year) #2 Severe infections of the stomach, lower intestine and bowels resulting in ...you dont want to know! #3 I have malabsorption (really gross-look it up!)
So the plan at this point is I have started a series of VERY powerfull drugs designed to kick start my digestive system, and I do mean KICK! The series will run the next 4 weeks then if there is no improvement I will have to look at surgical options. I just have to mention this, one of the surgical options we have discussed involves replacing my esophagus with a goats! I shit you not, A GOAT! Pretty weird huh?
Anyways THANKS so much for caring. I really met a great group of people at just the right time in my life. Dont think this means I will show or expect any mercy on the PB field! It just means I think you are an outstanding group off the field as well as on.
I would be happy to answer any more questions anybody has about my health, or anything else. I am pretty much homebound for a while and appreciate the company.
