That's awesome! I hope it works out for you.

My thoughts are with you my Friend!!!

boilermaker · 12-14-2005, 04:26 PM

Hey folks, thank you all so much for your well wishing and concern. The procedure is over and they found three small polyps that were removed. They were very small and the doctor feels that they are nothing to worry about but will be tested anyways. There was also some small reminants of the dyverticulits infection, but he thought that looked good too. I'll have to limit or eliminate my consumption of nuts and seeds to prevent reoccurances of this.

Some good news is that by ditching my previous lifestyle of too much fatty foods, alcohol, being overweight and not exercising my chances for more polyps will go down. He was happy to hear about my new diet with much lass fatty food consumption, lots of fiber and regular exercise. In fact, while I was in the waiting area to be taken to the screening room I set off an alarm. It seemed my resting heart rate was dipping below 50 beats/minute

My blood pressure was 111/71 which is normal for most, but outstanding for me.

Thanks for all your support, it is making a difference not only on the outside, but in my health overall.

By the way, anyone avoiding this procedure because they are afraid or intimidated by it needs to go get it done. I didn't feel or remember anything about the exam. The worst part by far is the fleet enema you have to drink prior and the results that produces.

Burner02 · 12-14-2005, 04:41 PM

hey! Glad it all went well!
WHAT? No more peanut butter either? DANG.....
Glad all is well!

First of all, congrats on the positive report.

How long ago did you have the diverticulitis? I had the misfortune of experiencing that about 8 years ago. It was not a pleasant experience. Fortunately, it's all in the past - the pain and the recovery. Keep the fiber consumption high. I think that's the biggest thing to warding off future attacks.

He won't have to eliminate it - just limit it.

Way to go Boiler !

Now get back to work

Devlin · 12-14-2005, 08:59 PM

Good news all around

boilermaker · 12-14-2005, 09:46 PM

Burner: Thanks, man. I think I can eat all the creamy pb I want. No more crunchy for me.

Pylon: Thanks, everyone here provides a little inspiration. Nice how that works.

TT: I appreciate it. Quick check of the journal reveals November 2 as the day of the attack. Not something I want to experience again. Yes, high fiber all the way for me.

GW: Thanks, back at it tomorrow.!

Devlin: Thank you!

boilermaker · 12-14-2005, 11:42 PM

Emma, I read all your info on the shoulder stuff this time and what I've found is that when I do the towel stretch for internal shoulder rotation, this makes my shoulder hurt like it does when I'm overhead pressing. I'm pretty flexible, and don't even need a towel for this move. I can just clasp my hands together and pull up with my right arm. This causes pain on the inside front portion of the left shoulder. In fact, if I just put my left hand behind my back like I was going to do this exercise, and push my elbow/shoulder forward, this causes pain in the same spot as well.

So, this is an internal rotation problem, I think???? I read about supraspinatus and infraspinatus and couldn't really draw any conclusions. I also have some arthritic conditions in the left side of one of my cervical spine vertebrae. This causes a numb patch over my left scapula from time to time. Perhaps a nerve coming from this vertebrae is being pinched in overhead motions. I'll get to a physio after I get a referal from my primary doc in January.

In the mean time, I'll be replacing overhead pressing with incline dumbell flys and reverse dumbell flys lying face down on an incline bench. Will report back tomorrow on whether this helps. I'll also keep doing my rotator cuff exercises and try to up them to a couple times a week, or at least 2 times in 10 days. Thanks again for your advice and I apologize for all the banter you had to read through the other day. Just having a little fun, you know.

b_reed23 · 12-15-2005, 02:39 AM

glad your doing well!

dougnukem · 12-15-2005, 02:25 PM

You're going to live! Yay, you! Glad to hear everything is looking good health wise. Another example of how a good diet and exercise can change a person's life.

**CowPimp** · 12-15-2005, 02:54 PM

I'm glad to hear that everything turned out okay. 111/71 is perfect blood pressure too. Rock on you healthy bastard.

**Emma-Leigh** · 12-15-2005, 04:14 PM

Good Stuff on the results Steve!!

It is inspirational the turn around you have made!

You better be damn proud of yourself!

But

Crunchy PB is gone!! Arggg... That is horrible news! You must be heart broken... Smooth is just not the same!

I have to duck off - but will answer your questions re shoulder in a little bit ok? (sorry!

)!

Hope you have a great day!

Archangel · 12-15-2005, 05:36 PM

Glad all is well my Friend, take care and keep it up, your doin good in here!!! If I can help, let me know!!!

Thanks, Archie

. You are an inspiration to everyone. You always radiate a positive energy, and I appreciate it.

I'm intrigued by your HIT program and what YM does in his. Should be fun to try them both out!!! I'll probably hit (get it) you up for some advice on it when I start a bulk!

yellowmoomba · 12-15-2005, 08:48 PM

Keep doing the rotator cuff exercises....they should help. Also - it's a wise move to stop any overhead pressing movements. Hopefully you'll be fine in a month or so.
