Scientific Verification That I am “One in a Million”

OK, actually they say it is more like five in a million. Whatever. I am still super dooper extra special. That’s the main point here.

As some of you are aware, I’ve been dealing with a lot of health issues lately. I’ve been in hardcore test-o-rama mode since about January, and the good news is that I can finally stop. The doctors just gave up and won’t return my calls. Oh well.

Just kidding (although I may have been close to that point).

I have a relatively rare condition called Cushing’s Disease. I won’t bore you or gross you out with all the symptoms.

Here is a brief video to tells you the gist of it:

So I’ll be having surgery on June 10th. We are traveling to MD Anderson in Houston. Not a lot of surgeons have substantial experience treating this, so we had to travel to find a surgeon who wouldn’t try to repair me with duct tape and WD-40.

I have roughly a 70% chance of this surgery working. I like them odds. There are other options if this doesn’t work (possibly including duct tape and WD-40) but we’ll worry about that only if we have to.

My hospital stay will be brief - if all goes well, I should be out of there in four days. I am, however, expected to be a total load for at least a month afterwards. After a month… well, I’ll probably still be a load because, frankly, I enjoy the lifestyle.
