Hello to all

My wife’s throat checked out ok…thank goodness…her right femur has healed 90 % and we go back on the 3 rd of October for her X-ray and another follow up with the orthopedic PA…all we need to do is to get in touch with the pharmacist PA assistant to my cardiologist at Belvoir that specializes in medicine therapy to get her BP under control… she is good and I hope will make my wife’s high BP much lower and control it….as for me, my doctor called back and the colon biopsies showed microscopic colitis… he’s suggesting I go on Imodium slowly for a week and see how I do…he did not see any tumors but couldn’t rule out polyps because he mentioned that my prep was poor…which I can’t understand why…I was clear for 5 trips to the bathroom….anyway, last night’s AA meeting was an ugly affair…in 44 years of going to meetings semi semi regularly… I’ve never heard such an outburst from an outraged person toward another and foul language…and to top it off, one of the chosen favorites silently chimed in by giving this guy a heart ♥️ on her blank video square for this guy’s rant ..
totally turned me off .. will NEVER go back to that meeting (Zoom) again…living in this world today is a precarious place even when there is still good news to be had and good things to hope for

@pvctom2021 Tom, glad to read your wife's femur is getting better as time goes on. Can she get out to exercise, even if it is a bit of yard work or walk around the block, to help her blood pressure?

Perhaps there were some "wrinkles" in your intestine that the doctor felt he could guarantee there were no polyps. It has happened to others before.

Doing a 12 step meeting by Zoom is not something I have experienced, only done them in person. But like any other meeting, sometimes attendees become "keyboard warriors" and feel they can say/present anything they want. It is a real different energy on a screen, versus face-to-face. Perhaps if it had been in the same room, the outcome would have been different. And perhaps that person didn't share what was really going on with them, choosing to "act out" instead? That would be a great journaling prompt for you to tackle, acknowledging your feelings, how it made you and others feel, why you felt it might have happened. I wonder if the next meeting for that group will be well-attended, or if something will be said.
