Tominator Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I had my follow up visit with my surgeon yesterday. Doc asked how I was doing, checked on the infection that developed last week (which my son's surgeon took care of when I took him in for a checkup last Thursday), and suddenly popped up from his chair and said "hang on, I forgot something, this was pretty cool..." Doc comes back in and says "remember that little thing on your abdominal wall that wasn't on your liver?" and I said "yeah" and he hands me the pathology report and says "it wasn't a tumor at all, it was some leftover spleen tissue..." So dumb ass me says "so that's good news right?" and he laughs and says "that's very good news..." We had a decent laugh because my son's surgeon was my surgeon back in 2006. When I asked him to look at what I thought was an infected incision he says *tongue in cheek* "why do I have to clean up Bloomston's mess?" So Bloomston, my liver surgeon says "so looks like I was cleaning up Ellison's mess, eh?" I asked him it that was like the epitome of surgeon humor, first guy makes a crack about cleaning up a mess, and it turns out during the surgery he had to clean up the other guy's mess. lol Well, maybe you had to be there, but it was a kind of funny moment. Long story short, Bloomston says I should keep making mortgage payments because it looks like I might be around for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Great to hear Chris, but too bad they did not have better way of determining what was there prior to you having to deal with the added stress and having to have a surgery that really was probably not necessary.

Tominator Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Great to hear Chris, but too bad they did not have better way of determining what was there prior to you having to deal with the added stress and having to have a surgery that really was probably not necessary. It was necessary. The other tumor was real. They burned that one, so no pathology there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Super fantastic news Chris. :cowboy: I sure look forward to your good docs report. Now then, are you hunting or will be ? :gun1: Take care. too_ I'm trying. Still in college, still have my online class I'm teaching, daughter still busy with band, and son still busy with football. No paper due the week of the 30th, daughter is done with competitions tomorrow, son has 1 more game if they win Sunday, so I'm hoping to get my buddy down here next weekend or the following for a hunt or two. Past that, maybe some after school stuff during the rut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
