Doc says I am full of sh*t

Ok, maybe he didn't use those EXACT words.........

Went in for CT planning yesterday morning. Had a bowel movement two hours before, drank 20oz of water 1 hour before. Talked to the doc before the procedure signed the consent. Got on the table, had the mold made, tech took the first CT says "bladder is perfect, but some stool and gas in the rectum. Could you try and have a bowel movement? And if you empty your bladder you will need to drink more water and wait a while." I said " so go fart, but not pee"....."yep". Hit the bathroom, a little luck with the fart, fine with not peeing. Back on the table, have second CT, doc walks in I ask " is my butt behaving?" He says "just about, but still a little stool present. We could use this CT if we had too, but lets see if we can get it perfect. Take Senokot Sunday night, Gasx Monday morning and lets try again". I told him I agreed and let's not let "good enough" be the enemy of perfection.

Still on schedule to start SBRT on Dec 14.

Worst part of the whole ordeal was I told my wife, in-laws and a couple friends about it and nobody disagreed with the doc's assessment that I am full of shit......

Humor and SBRT together are a good combination.

I haven't heard that for a while j-o-h-n. It figures you would be the one to bring that old one back! Two scoops right my friend? How about chocolate with chocolate chips for a little overload? How come no one ever made vanilla syrup to sell like chocolate syrup? If you sell the idea, I get 10% right?

Well that's just the deposit bottles........ the syrup itself sells like hot cakes cause it's shipped separately in paper bags that meet FDA's gender neutral recycling standards and approval.

Oiiiiiiiiiii we lost America..........

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Don't tell me you were born in Hoboken, New Jersey and you sing and know the words to "MY Way" and you're a chairman of a company that sells OLD BLUE jeans.....

Paul Anka maybe?

And guess what? You may have more bad butt days during your SBRT sessions! Good luck to you! 🦊

Butt I hope not. But if it happens it happens. Roll with those punches and keep punching back.
