the bastard has nothing seriously wrong with his anus. He had his colonoscopy a few hours ago and the Specialist's Report says: "moderate hemorrhoids noted". So...no polyps, no anal caner like poor ol' Farrah Fawcett. Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006 and died three years later at age 62.

Yes it's a big relief to know something's not eating out my backside but the irony is I'm still in significant discomfort/pain. Medical Science can't fix everything.
But one very good outcome. I learned about Picolax - a laxative. If you ever worry about being severely constipated and your stools turning to stone...get this stuff. It's explosive and liquefys your bowel contents after 30 mins. The laxatives you get at the supermarket pale into insignificance.
If there's one thing that's been brought home to me as I attended surgeries and even hung out at a major hospital (as a curious visitor), looking at all the folk with their war wounds; the elderly...it is we live on the rim of a Volcano. How fragile we are:
