Good Morning All,
I am posting publicly a section from my response to {{{E's}}} PM. I do this so that everyone will see I am no longer as worried about this thing as I was. Also, because when I re-read my response, I laughed so hard, it hurt, and I wanted to share that laugh with you.
"don't be surprised when the VA does those tests, and it isn't as serious as you thought!
Tell me about it!!!! Picture an old tater boy from Idaho, who's only experience with a camera is when they had to remove a section of my colon about 5 years ago and they shoved a camera into an area that just was not meant to be intruded upon. Now, my cardiologist tells me that they want to shove another camera into my "GROIN!!!!!!!!!" area, all the way up to my heart. You must remember that when you say "GROIN" to a man, it means only one thing and it sure isn't big enough for a camera. Now picture the terror on my face as my mind shreaks
"You want to shove a camera, WHERE????? Forget it, I'm dead"
OK, after some investigating, some long talks with a group of people here who have survived this type of thing, and talking with another doctor who was a little more precise with his discriptive wording, I now understand that they come in through my "upper leg", and not where I had originly invisioned, and the "CAMERA", is actually a thin fiber optic wire and not the same thing they used the last time. So I'm fine now, and actually looking forward to this. Everyone has told me the main thing I have to worry about is staying down for a few weeks after this is all over, because I will feel 18 again and want to tackle the world, scary thought!!
Anyway, take care my friend and Hey!, The wait is nothing, the military taught me very well, "Hurry up and wait for everything".
