update

boy, a lot has happened since I last wrote about health issues...

colonoscopy revealed polyp with early formation of probably cancer cells. I am doomed for repeat colonoscopys... 3 years apart . Not looking forward to it.. I woke up during the last one when they were apparently doing manipulation trying to straighten things out. Since I woke up, the doctor decided for future ones, I'll be in the OR under heavier sedation. I guess if there is to be a bright side, this would be it.

the surgery on my R eye improved vision - no more floaters to block my 'view'. My prescription on my glasses changed an entire diopter. New glasses, and now waiting fo the L eye surgery. That is at the bottom of the list right now. I can live with floaters in my eye, as long as I can see out of one good eye. Oh, speaking of 'good eye' - I will develope cataracts earlier with surgery on the eye. Getting old sucks.

I had my breast reduction. read about that elsewhere on my blog. Almost healed up from this, and I blew my L knee. Next week I'm going to have the knee replaced. read about that elsewhere also.

I'm slowly losing weight. No big changes in diet or exercise. I rarely drink soda, or other beverages. coffee with H/H. I could cut calories there, but why? It is a rare drink for me and I'd rather enjoy it in all the creamy goodness. Green tea. Rare beer or alcohol. I have rare urges for the salty snacks I once so loved. It is easy to pass them by in the store and not purchase. I do look, and gauge my inner reaction. Eh. no need. Interesting.
