Meeting with surgeon today. Couple of quotes from that meeting. None of this was said smilingly or with a joking tone.
#1
Rowdy-"When will my surgery be to fix all this?
Dr-"April"
R-"You better be kidding, or else you aren't leaving this room."
Dr-"How long do you think it would be before people came into the room if that happened?"
R-"About 25 seconds, but I can do what I need to in that time."
Dr-"Hmmmm. All I can think is maybe pulling your jacket over your head"
R-"That's ok, I can still do what I want"
Dr-"Ok, December."

#2
Rowdy-"So what sort of complications could happen from this next surgery. No one told what could happen this last time and look what I woke up with. What are the chances of me waking up with something screwed up again?"
Dr-"If it's any consolation I looked at the numbers and you are the only patient this has ever happened to with me."
Rowdy-"So what if it does again then??"
Dr-"Well, sue me and the hospital and get tons of cash."
Rowdy-"I will."

#3
Dr-"You might not want to know this, but one of my friends in college wrote an episode of Law & Order SVU. It was about a child molester and they needed and evil sounding name, so he used mine"
Rowdy-"He was right."

    Sadly he is the only real bowel surgeon in the HMO I am and the other surgeons think my case is too complicated and have all referred me to him......

    The only positive is that he has at least been inside me a couple times already so he knows what is what.

    But yeah, I've had better. And the woman who I really wanted to do it left my HMO before I could get this original surgery done. Dang it!

The housekeeper said today I look like a gangster or mafioso. Do you agree? So I posted on FB a picture of my agility ladder and talked about how I use it for training for shooting. Most people kind of questioned it or dismissed it outright. Then I see a famous person posts a video of him today on FB using one and everyone thinks it's a great new idea. This actually makes me kinda angry. I don't like being dismissed or marginalized because my thoughts and ideas come from me, and not from someone "famous". Cause you know what, he isn't any better or smarter than I am. In any way. And just like MM93 grew up to take down VR46 I'm gonna do the same to all those who are at the top right now. Everyone is gonna know it and see it. Then there will be no doubting.

80% of individuals with MCI convert to AD within 3 to 7 years. Having both APOE4 allelles increases your risk 12 fold. Diagnosed with MCI this year. Amyloid PET scan in August. 3 to 7 years to Alzheimer's disease? That is frightening.
