Adhesions?

I was chatting with a good friend of mine in Nova Scotia today when I realized I haven't updated my blog lately. I have been slothful regarding my commitment to posting a couple of blogs a week. To be truthful, there hasn't been very many crisis in my life.

My last PSA came back <0.4 again and this means the measurement devices can not detect any prostate cells which would be cancerous. Obviously good news. Next blood work is in September and I will most likely get anxious again.

One thing that is happening is that I am getting dull pains in my pelvic area. My good "A" has done some research and I have asked our Company doctor and this appears to be from "adhesion's". That is, there may be connecting of tissues that shouldn't be happening. My intestines may be "bonding" to other parts of my inner parts. This is a normal event and it can cause pain. What I have to watch out for is my "number 2" pattern. If I am getting plugged on a regular basis, I may need some additional surgery to release the "adhesion's".

I know more this February. I am scheduled to see a specialist and book a colonoscopy. Sounds like fun!

More later.
