One of my specialties is blogging about medical issues. It gives me a deep satisfaction. I don’t know why. But here I am again.
I must laud the medical profession for their great advancements in the last few years. Things have really been coming along! Let me elaborate.
The doc is subjecting me to a particulary invasive procedure today. Now, I really don’t care about the actual procedure that much, it’s no big deal because you’re dead to the world while it’s running its course. But the mandatory preparatory procedures are a killer! It’s the day before where you want to question whether it’s worthwhile for life to continue or not!
That’s the reason I was initially discombobulated when he forced me into the procedure this time. After a few probing questions, however, I realized that things have come a long way in the last few years! The required prep process is much less grievous than before.
Don’t get me wrong, it does consist of some strong distaste, vile self-invasiveness, and stout unpleasance. But on the whole it’s a mere shadow of what it was in the olden days (5 years ago).
So yea for the medical profession.

I love that word “discombobulated”. Why is it so underused? I must figure out a way to get it into my blog sometime soon!
Hope your recovery from this traumatic procedure is less discombobulating than your preparation.
And I can’t helpwondering if part of the preparation included being under the influence of prescription medication while you were writing? You sound way too pleased about the whole thing!

Having spent some time in endo, I can bet I know what procedure you had..and the prep is the worst part, from what I’ve heard. :) Now, if they could only use the same meds to keep us discombobulated in the dentists’ chair, what a wonderful world this would be!!
