Good luck with the scope brother.

Thanks Tim, but you can ask a few on here I won't stress over this, I'm not really built that way. Will I give this the due respect it deserves and handle it? Absolutely I will! Will I loss sleep and spend every waking hour worrying? No WAY! My affairs are in order and my family knows the contingency plan should anything happen to me. TS, gets my slingshots and Adal gets my Red Ryder bb gun
The intent of this thread for me was/is to gain information or knowledge about something that is impacting me directly as these little episodes have been playing stumb the chump with 3 doctors I have seen. As such I felt it maybe an opportunity for the Deltas and aspiring Deltas on here as well as the Docs (to learn or mentor respectfully) a case from my perspective (the patient). As I am not a medical professional they would be forced to interpet the case as it evolved or as I laid it out in my layman terms, which I'm sure is significantly more difficult then if another medical professional laid it out for them. Thus creating a win win. I get exposure to opposite opinions that are different from my current docs who seem to refuse to disagree with each and only back each other up regardless of their suggestions. While the Deltas (or aspiring to be Deltas) get exposure to an odd case they could definitely see coming up later on in their career.
Is there a possibility someone could get on here and say, "OMG, look at that, you are f-ed and there is nothing you can do about it but live quickly and die." I would welcome that or any information over being kept in continual darkness like I am a child. I can handle great news and horrible news, what I can't handle is someone attempting to shelter me from bad news especially about something that is obviously already present within my own body. I understood the rules when I walked in here, big boy rules big boy consequences. All I can ask is that you give it to me straight as you see it based on your expertise. Nothing more nothing less, so please save the "lets not speculate because we are going to stress him out" Stuff, thats not for me. In serious matters I tend to be blunt and to the point I hope you can extend to me the same courtesy.
