hello kim. hope u had a happy, merry xmas!!! i hear there was lots of snow in your area!
yes i saw a new CRS. i like her a lot. she is totally alpha female and that is a turn on!!! LOL.
so i do have the date set for Jan 19 @ 9 am but check-in at 8 am. i expect to be out of work for the remainder of the week. altho after today's talk with the doc, she remains optimistic that i would be at work the following week....um, i am taking the next week off too...but i am hoping to be back in the office at least by the end of jan 31 into first week of feb. we'll see.
my surgery will consist of:
1. open LIS without stitches - she says she makes such a tiny cut that there won't be a need for stitches - she specializes in minimally, invasive surgery and thus she totally is conservative with her procedures
2. my skin tag, Laverne and Shirley, will be leaving the factory for good! the skin tag will be sent to a lab for further look to make sure that it indeed is nothing else but a skin tag. so i am really hoping that yes, it is nothing but that too. no stitches at this site. makes me wonder but i know L&S is big - in my head....i just can't see it being left open.
3. my past caught up to me....so back in 95 i got treated for some warts on my butt area. so looks like some have resurfaced - but they are extremely flat - not even protruding. so she said she would take care of those. either the skin will be excised or burned.
4. before all of the above get's done, she is going to take a good look inside via flexible sigmoidoscopy to make sure that i don't have any warts in the anal canal and further in. if she finds any, she will take care of accordingly.

i had a good talk with her today.
the LIS procedure seems the less scary but the other two for some reason feel more scary.
and to even be more embarrassed, she is going to shave my ass herself!
but i will be out in twilight land by then.
since i am leaving to japan tomorrow, she set me up with some lidocaine ointment 5% and diltiazem 2%.
i just feel like she is the right one. it's bizarre, but she is a very attractive woman. i can't get her outta my mind.
so i hope really i can still maintain this level of calm because i am not too wigged out and it just feels like it is the right time to address these issues.
