Although frustrating that your biome is not “normal,” sounds like you are doing great! A week of riding in Colorado! Have fun!

Sounds like it's time for a vacation! Enjoy your travels and glad that you got checked out before your trip.

So glad that you and Sharon will be able to enjoy your vacation with few worries! Be sure to send photos..........

Didn't know Lomotil is considered a narcotic. I took it for several years (Ulcerative Colitis). If you ever get back your taste for beer. Have you tried New Belgium's 1554? I love it. Keep hanging in there.

You are a good strong man. Take good care of yourself.

Great to get a good report right before a big trip. Now you two go have some fun!

Thank goodness all is good! Glad the dr was being cautious, but whew!

Very good news.

Good to hear your check up proved positive after the the initial concern. Enjoy your planned trips and keep them pedals turning, all that cycling over the years has has helped to keep you in good fettle and enabled you to cope better with the magnitude of your necessary hospital operation, so all I can say, as I have said before, is "Chapeau" to you both.👍

Good timing. Alls well for your trip. Have a blast!
