Sad to say this hard to put into text on the forum. Christmas Day I was working around the house and thought I picked up a UTI of some sort. It got worse through the evening. The next morning its started to clear then turned into I can't urinate. I drove to the hospital and found out I've got a tumor in my bladder partially blocking the right ureter. Never the less I was outfitted with a catheter and sent home with an appointment for a specialist in Meridian, ID. The ran the camera in me and sure enough, there is a fair size growth. The plan is by next Wednesday to have it removed. 

 

I'm going be out of action for a while. Anyone local to me I would like to ask for assistance if possible. My Great BoD's here are going to have to pick up the operation of the site for a while. 

 

I'm alive and well for the most part. Shaken by this, Oh hell Yes! The huge burden of trying to take care of myself and MoparMom dialysis. Then the mental stress of it being possibly cancer. Today I'm going to try and just as much as possibly gain some strength so I can just keep trucking. I've got to keep rolling for MoparMom's sake. 

 

Again I'm tapping @BrianAtSmarty for the day of my operation being I will be in the hospital for at least two days. He's going to put us up at his place and shuttle MoparMom on my days I'm down.

Just read the thread I hope you recover fast and the growth wasn't cancer. I hate to see cancer and what it does to people.

The nick name for my procedure was Roto Rooter. Involved the prostate though. Still......... @Mopar1973Man DW aint far off on reference. 

Kidding aside glad your back and hope your recovery is swift. 

 

Will you guys quit showing that dang thing! I'm supposed to get a colonoscopy sometime soon.

 

Glad your doing well Mike. Praying you keep doing that way. Don't forget to harass the nurses during your stay. That's what they're there for.

Lol... Nurse have been great. I've been well taken care of. In getting out this hospital really soon. Like in 30 to 45 minutes. I'm going to camp at @BrianAtSmarty place for today let the last of the meds wash out so I can drive home. I've got some high power stuff.

Prepping to load Mikey up asap and blow this joint... :thumbup:

 

Hope your recovery is quick and everything works out!  This site has taught me a lot about the 24v Cummins motor.

Get well prayers from Colorado, Mike, sincerely George.

I would not worry about a colonoscopy. Thats the other side. Nothing to it. The only thing I did not like is right before they put you out they have you hunker your butt over to the side of the bed. That will make think, but mercifully they put you out right after that. Then its over and you go home known the wiser as to what actually happened. And no, i dont wont a souvenir video.
