Yeah and that percentage is there probably as a precautionary thing, meaning they don't want to say "It's 100% not cancerous" and then it turns out to be, so they just want to make you aware that there is a slim chance that this could be or cause cancer.

I've been to the doctors and/or hospital enough times that I'm done worrying about anything that goes wrong with my body unless it's my heart or d*ck, and luckily nothing has gone wrong with my d*ck yet.

You'll e fine I'm sure, just follow doctors orders.

Sorry to hear about that MHS somehow these things work themselves out. I can somewhat relate to you and Pez. I have been healthy my entire life and a little over a year ago started to have some health problems.

Long story short after multiple visits to my family practitioner, three trips to emergency a trip to a GI doctor and an ENT they found the problems, lol. It's no fun having CT scans, x-rays , blood test and just being poked an pronged day in and out.

I think the whole process took a little over 6 months but I was finally able to get on with my life. The worst part of the experience was the fear of not knowing what was wrong and of course your mind can come up with some incredible scenarios.

Hang in there and take care.

(Keeps the fingers crossed)

Positive waves sent your way bro...

[Pezman]

Hey stranger, feeling any better these days?

[Mtbrncofn]

Yeah, where the heck is Shack? I know it's getting to be very close to baby time. I hope you are all well!

[Mile High Shack]

yeah I'm alright

the internet nazi's busted me for excessive use at work

I freakin' hate this place

I'm doing better, the medicine is working some, I'm starting to feel like my old self again and I'm not so irritable, tired and cranky all the time. I must've been like a bear to live with for a few months, since I was so irritable.

Anyway, thanks for asking, another thing that pissed me off today, was my stupid insurance company wouldn't let me get a refill of my anti-shaking medicine (another great side effect to my disease) so I have to call the dr. to have him write a new one (I was taking 1 1/2 instead of 1...so the insurance company decided it was too soon to get a new one today)...well he is closed at 4:30..>UGH.

no biggie, I eventually was going to start weaning myself off the nadalol anyway.......so I guess I'll just go w/o a pill tomorrow or something.

other than that, I actually have energy to do yard work, next step is working out, he said I probably lost about 4% muscle mass b/c of this disease...I'm freakin' skinny, my shoulders are all boney.

anyway.......baby could come any day, she just ain't ready yet

thanks for asking guys

[Mtbrncofn]

No need to brag about being freakin skinny!

Glad to hear everything is ok, Shack. I was starting to worry about you and the baby and wife. Those babies just take their damn sweet time too.

Maybe you'll get an early Father's Day gift! : Give my best to your wife.

[Pezman]

Good to hear that you are feeling well enough to be at work bro. With the impending baby, and the lack of sleep coming, I'm sure feeling better is a relief. Sucks about the medicine. Damn HMO's and PPO's...

As for work, well, screw em, we'll build you a super secret backdoor entrance to the Mane so you can continue to give us all hell.

Seriously, keep healthy, and keep us informed about ya bro! Now, get out on the golf course!

I figured someone has to have it in sports, it just happens, but it's treatable, I feel much better already after only 2 weeks.

I didn't want them to kill my thyroid.........just seems wrong

so Pezzy work on that backdoor........damn internet nazis

thanks MT and I will

doctor said if she doesn't have it by the 25th, he wants to start talking about inducing

and the skinny thing isn't bragging, my damn shoulder bones are sticking out now...lol

I know with added responsibilities this is going to seem like a load of crap but part of the cure for diabetes, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, obesity, bulimia, and many other blood or systemic diseases is breaking down your calories into five meals per day. If you eat five little meals your bodies natural stuff kicks in and clears up a lot of stuff including raising your metabolism. Weight lifters do this all the time but the eat like nothing during competition.

I learned a 10 minute power nap keeps me from getting grumpy. I have an undiagnosed deal with my thyroid. It's one of those "well I don't see anything" deals that you have to figure out for yourselves. My doctor was going to put me on high blood pressure medicine and I told him give me three weeks. I came back and it was 120 over 80. He asked me how I did that. I did the diet like I described to you and I ran every day.

The first thing that goes with a baby is your time with your wife and the second is your time alone. Take time to excercise. You'll live longer. Do it for the baby. Do it to keep balanced.

Sorry for unsoliciated advice. I just think a lot of these things get over looked and then boom 20 years pass and it's suddenly too late.

[Mile High Shack]

I do excercise a lot

I use to do it even more before hyperthyroidism wrecked my muscles and made me tired all the time b/c my body was amped up all the time.

thanks though, but I do work out...plan on starting again next week, feeling much better

Yep, he apparently played with it during most of last season with the Tennessee Volunteers, never really treated it because A.) He didn't want to lose time off the field and B.) It would hurt his draft stock.

The moment Dallas took him in round 2, he saught immediate medical atention for it and is under treatments and is fine, as you will be
