Still alive and all that junk. 7/22/2015 Well kiddies, it would seem I got through the surgery without a hitch. I don't remember much at all. I woke up hurting and my throat is sore as hell. They gave me a shot for the pain... which was Fab-U-Lous! I have four small incisions around my stomach which makes moving around a bit difficult but I already knew it would be.  I know for the next couple weeks or so I have to make sure none of them gets infected. So as you can see... nothing really detailed to report. I have a follow up with the Surgeon on Aug. 4th to see how I am healing. I think he is having second thoughts about the lesion on my Kidney based on what he told Dale while I was in recovery. I think I am just going to deal with one issue at a time for now. Besides I have no real information to get all worried about the lesion anyway. For now I am all about healing and feeling better. I am so ready to get back to my exercises and weightlifting. Today I am still alive and enjo...

Stony Update. 7/16/2015 Okay... here is what I know. He is going to remove the gallbladder completely via Keyhole surgery. I should be in and out in a day. It depends on if nothing goes wrong (bleeding etc etc). He also said that he was not too concern over the spot on my kidney. Now.. I don't know when the date will be for the surgery yet. They will call me in a day or so to set a date. I am hoping it will asap. I will have to reschedule my laser eye therapy for the next month. That should give me time to heal and all that junk. I will so fucking glad when this is DONE! :)

A New Adventure. 7/16/2015 Not much to report right now but today is the day I see the surgeon Jon Moore. Over the last few days, I have given this situation a great deal of thought. I honestly don't feel worried or concern over the whole surgery deal. Seems like I would be but I'm not. To me it's like this new adventure into knowing more about how my body works and what I can do to make it work better. I may start to feeling more anxious after my visit with Moore. I think thats pretty normal really. However I can not allow myself to become fearful of the unknown. I have to place my body and my life in the hands of medical Science. I'm okay with that. I feel confident that all will go well and I'll be back on my feet soon enough. Don't get me wrong, I am well aware of what could go wrong but I see no need to let that mess with my head. To me...this is one more hurdle to get over to a healthier life. I will update later today on what the surgeon says and when...

Poor Stoned Me. 7/11/2015 Okay...as I may have mentioned before, I have been having issues with back pain for a few months. Well it seems to have escalated. However it isn't my back. I have been dealing with some hard core pain in my back, stomach and right side for about two weeks. Over that time the pain got worse. I made a appointment to see my doctor on friday. He sent me to the ER to have some test done instead of making many appointments to get what can be done in one day. What they found was two gallstones and they found a lesion on my kidney. The stones aren't infected nor did they find any blockage but I was sent to a Dr, Moore to do a followup and to be set up for having the stones removed. It does not sound like a huge deal and not a huge deal to fix. However the Lesion is my only concern. I doubt it is cancerous but I was told to deal with it before it gets worse. Dr. Moore will be the one handling both issues. I was told by the ER doc that it was more than like...
