Tales from the Cornhole...

It's been a while since I posted so I figured I'd make an appearance. First, this is the sign I see going to work every day. I keep calling the number but apparently cornhole is some sort of game down here. Also, in case you didn't know, I have a totally sweet condition I picked up after Iraq known as 'post-bacterial IBS.' Turns out I've got to be pretty careful about what I eat now. And that pretty much gives you an idea about how my Sunday night went. I've been seeing a doctor for a while and in about a week's time I'll be enjoying a little procedure called a colonoscopy. Not sure if anyone out there's had one but I'm pretty stoked. I see two possible outcomes, either it’ll be staggeringly horrifying or… the best day of my life.

  1. Good luck! Hopefully you've got a nice pink colon! Judging from the name of the condition this seems like a temporary thing? I mean can't you get some antibiotics to help clear up the problems?

    The husband of a woman I work with has something similar. He ended up meeting with a "Holistic" medicine person who recommended a Non-FDA approved treatment. They had to go through a relative in Europe (where the stuff is sold). Essentially this guy is taking "tape worms in pill form".

    I guess the tape worms are meant to clear up his stomach problems... anyhoo it never hurts to ask about these things.

  2. Are you going to get yours video taped like Katie Curic?

    Corn hole is the "Tailgate Bean Bag Toss Game" It's taken pretty seriously in Cincinnati, just like BBQ and Budweiser.

  3. A colonoscopy will result in the biggest farts of your life. Let's just say there is a blast of compressed air used at one point in the procedure...or so I've heard. Along the Holistic remmedy line I know of an herb that is known to help with appetite and nausea, but like Erick's friends cure, it is also non-FDA for some reason. Best of luck.

  4. I don't know - but a thorough rectal exam may lead the doctor to asking some questions about your "lifestyle choices".. you may have some explaining to do...
