Subject: Gonna be a sucky weekend. DRINK HEAVILY!

Got my semi-annual CT scan today and they called back awfully quick with the radiology report.  Throat looks just fine, but something doesn't look good with my liver.  Masses or lesions.  Something going on.  While I'm 99.9% certain it's nothing (I went through a scare 7 years ago, and it was nothing).  But my Oncologist is going to freak on Monday.

And to be honest, 99.9% still leaves 0.1% and that's enough to mess with my head.  I gotta remember to stop doing these tests late in the week and then wait until Monday for more answers!  Idiot!  Looks like it's going to be another weekend of heavy drinking, Monty Python and Kevin Smith movies!  Clerks and scotch!  Hey - If my liver is going to F with me... I'm going to F it up first!  Wink

Hey, good luck with that...but ya may wanna find some more liver-friendly drinks!  Laugh at Monty Python...leave the alcohol to those watching Kevin Smith movies...they'll need the liquor to find those funny.  

btw, those tests just shouldn't be performed on Fridays...the waiting for a whole weekend just blows.  Seriously, good luck man.

Best wishes, fingers crossed, saying a prayer, sending good vibes that it is nothing!

And note to self - no tests close the weekend.

You know something...

Please ignore this post.  I don't even know why I wrote it.  I shouldn't be "fishing" and...  Just ignore it.  I wish I could delete it.

Go back to your regularly scheduled CoJ stuff and ignore me.

I know exactly where you are coming from and until you are there you will never truely understand.  Nothing is worse than the waiting game.  I go in for scans on Monday and don't get the report until the next day.  Seems like every time they get alarmed about something like spots in my lungs that end up being from a cold.  It is very stressful and a few beers do seem to calm my nerves a bit.  I think that you already know that you just go on and live each day to the fullest.  Kiss your wife more, hug your kids more, fish more, just enjoy all that you have been blessed with.

Good Luck!

Well, to distract you from this dilemma, I would humbly ask that you regale us with any tales you might have from whilst you were serving with the IDF.     I'd be partial to any tales of the IDF women, if you please.    Lovely creatures, they are.

Bon Courage, mon ami de guerre.       *Sorry, I have no words of Hebrew.*

I had some luck with the Israeli women... but not much.  They're a defensive bunch, they are.  The army chicks are simply trained how to be MORE defensive.  The problem aren't the girls...  It's the Middle Eastern dudes!  Israeli men, Arab men, Persian men...  Some of the most chauvinistic, nasty, dawg, guys in the world!  "Hey baby.  So you like me, yes?  You want to sleep with me now, yes?"  Israeli girls are trained from an early age how to keep the pigs at bay.  When I say, "hi," they hear, "I want to have pizza with you."

I had 3 girlfriends when I lived there, all Israeli.  But never when I was actually serving.  As a "yeled lavan tif'ash" (stupid white boy), I wasn't given much leave time.

The closet equivalent to "bon courage, mon ami de guerre" would be "el tahiros aht"

... "Don't f*** up."  Wink

 Haven't been to Israel but did a  bit of time in Beirut in '83.    Saw that particular attitude  in the indigenous population.    We were busy and had no time to explore relations with said indigenous population, subset female.

Oo la. Cool
