Morning OFC. Major cool down here. Might not reach 70f here today. Gonna try and get a walk in before water start’s falling from the sky.
The seemingly never ending job of putting the house back together from the carpet install will continue for some time. To much other stuff goin on to really concentrate on it now.
Walk time…..BB

I talked to my physician they gave me a referral to colorectal surgery. That was more than 6 months ago. I explained the bleeding butt and everythingNot that you asked ,but ,if I may ,you should consider telling that to your Dr. .
Not us ,or your Mom or the starbucks lady.
Think of how your Mom takes hearing your troubles with your stern .
Want to make your Momma happy?
Take care of yourself for her.
Can't imagine ( God forbid) the time comes when you need to take care of YOUR Mother and you are unable.
Only best intentions meant
Loki definitely has vegetarian tendencies - and loves to munch on carrots 
Time to call back and ask if they can move it up. They put us off when we don’t persist sometimes. You gotta stay on top of your own health. Don’t expect your doc to.

I would go to the ER and not leave until they determined what was going on.
I just tossed a bunch of those big ones away as they are bitter from my garden. Pulled out everything from the garden except a couple of pepper plants and an eggplant. Thinking about a fall garden now. Maybe I’ll take care of it better than my spring garden.
There is another idea Doober…
Point taken Walt - and many thanks
for taking the time and effort to convince me - it is so - I will have to spend some time now conversing and convincing the inner rebellious and wayward me - that's the way it's gonna be - no coffee for me - and it won't be easy - 
- but then the best path in life always seems to be strewn with rocks and boulders and mountains to climb - but climb them I will -

Pardon me for saying so, but getting scheduled for surgery does not happen that way. Having been operated on several times, I have first hand awareness of this. They don't hand out referrals for surgery. You would meet with a specialist, in this case a surgeon, at a minimum of several times. And with unspecified internal bleeding, they would necessarily so, do a bank of tests regardless, to see what the suspected problem or problems are. Then what's next.
The prior gentleman from this forum that responded to you gave you sound adult advice. Again, pardon me for saying so, but you seem to have a lot on your plate. I would spend less time paralyzing myself at the crack of dawn, and instead begin pursuing the medical conditions, you in all good faith, should very likely be addressing. Bleeding internally is no joke. No matter where it is coming from. It's not quite like ignoring your teeth. Time to get serious.

Forgot to answer Gypsy's question: I have not touched alcohol, or anything with caffeine (including "decaf" coffee and tea which has caffeine in it) for three years. And yes, I still have Afib. But it has not progressed because of my lifestyle change. Weed is wonderful. It is good for you. Get stoned. But stay sober. And caffeine-free. Or turn into a rutabaga. Or die.
The pacemaker, Gypsy, ADDS a squirt to make your heart beat.
It does NOT stop the additional squirts it will get from caffeine. So everything will go just fine for you, with your fun and known-to-be-wrong caffeine "high" or your alcohol "buzz" -- UNTIL the sudden onslaught of hundreds of beats per minute that suddenly hit and stay with you until you are well and truly buggered.
I am not ready to hang up my guns. My litany: I have been shot (worst hurt), stabbed (meh), blown up (a trip, believe me), and totally, completely run tumbled-over by a teenager driving with his dick.
I walk without a limp after spending TWO Christmases in an electric wheelchair because I didn't have enough usable parts for an unpowered wheelchair or crutches. I type this now at the grace of my oldest son, who kept me alive and saw that I recovered my health as completely as possible**
**Scuba, world travel, Instrument Rated Pilot's License, deer/hog/turkey/dove hunting... even killing rattlesnakes with only my bare hand and a Swiss Army Knife. <-- Video made of it.
Me with my leg bolted on... brace no longer needed. ^^^^^^^^^^^^
A still taken from the buzzer video:
I ain't done yet, @Gypsy Nirvana -- And you should have a lot more years to play if you will only stop being a total idiot about caffeine.
Do I look like I ain't having any fun in those pics? I am a decade or so older than you, so neato shit like that awaits you if you just stop with the caffeine poison. You've done a LOT, which is why I am spending so much time trying to shake you awake: You are the kinda guy that will do wonderful things. If you let yourself live as something other than a half-paralyzed vegetable who got that way because: Coffee.
Well, brother... you just made me get down and pray for a minute. In thanks. TINSPoint taken Walt - and many thanks
What we have here is the famous 6 degrees of separation in force and action -- Scooter kept me from dying. Twice. Again: TINS. And now his medical advice has cleared the pond and landed in Mutha England. No guarantees, but one form of death has been avoided for you.
May you play as long as I have. I know you will do really fun things. Your previous record stands<-- I finally actually met sumbody who did things as wild (in many cases, far wilder!) than I have.
I know three people now on this forum who are on the list of people who I know have pushed the very fabric: @bigsur51 @Boo and @Gypsy Nirvana <-- And they know what I mean: They have been on the edge where it was a coin flip.

Wow. That is a masterpiece. Thanks.
It's been probably 5 or so yrs since having ANY injections.. they never worked. They tried ablations.. felt like I got hit in the back of the head with a 2x4. And after the whole COVID thing.. I don't trust Drs. I know I'm gonna end up under the knife again, but just have too much to do before then. Similar situation as you, homesteading, making repairs, setting up gardens, felling, bucking and splitting wood, etc.. So I'm pushing shit to the limit, getting things set up, so that when times go bad, many things will be done and ALL the heavy lifting, taken care of.
All praises to The Most High
See my post above Walt - and you should be convinced that my next expedition in life - will be one of attempting to free myself from the sheer folly of my caffeine addiction - for I do treasure my life - and have a responsibility to stay alive - to watch and nurture and support those that depend on me - so am not wanting nor planning to check-out anytime soon -
Hee, hee, hee, our Boxers would eat vegetables, but you can hide a vegetable in a pile of meat for our German Shepherds and you will get back a clean bowl and clean vegetable.
It you hand them a filet mignon, they will first smell it to make sure you aren't trying to sneak something in on them and then as soon as they take it, they will immediately put it down and sniff it some more, before licking it and then taking a bite.
Aw, shit... I'm beginning to think I am back in the grass, and guys are yelling medic** @D. B. Doober <-- You are being irresponsible. Think of if this way:
You are being given a warning. The train is coming down the tracks and you are sitting in your car parked on the rails. Now... the train might just be hit by a meteor just before it reaches you, but that ain't likely.
**As a doctor's Daddy, you might imagine I get a LOT of medical knowledge not readily available to other folks. Bloody stool is one knowledge point.
If it is bright red blood, and colors the water, it is possible/probable you have polyps. These are like little bags hanging from your intestine wall, filled with blood. As your shit goes by, or even if you just fart, the little (or not so little) bags tear and gush their contents.
NOTE TO D.B. -- This can be fixed, and painlessly. (Sign here that you read this ____ )
I have noted your reference to "bloody" <-- This tells me the blood is not black. If it was black, that would mean upper gastrointestinal trouble like a stomach ulcer. You ain't got that.
But the fact that to you it is just an "annoyance" and it does not hurt does not mean it is not something that could be life-threatening like cancer. Early cancer is just a PITA.
Late stage cancer is FINAL.
Go to the doctor. Take some worry off your mother. Your bloody asshole is NOT her responsibility to worry about, it is yours. Fix it and give her a goddamn' break, OK?

I know you don't really mind that much even though you're kind of griping about it but wasn't the aquisition of this pup because your son wanted one? If so then why not give him the chore of walking Loki in the morning? You know, the typical parental position of, "If you want to keep him then you have to take care of him." Plus it would give your son the chance to build a stronger bond with Loki so that he (Loki) isn't always coming to you for his wants and needs.

I hear ya Walt. I'll get in there to get it started again
yes bright red, it's a hemorrhoid way up there. Not having polyps would be fantastic. Thanks everyone
