Woohoo! No cancer!
Do we need to go somewhere and beat up the pathologist for unnecessarily freaking you out?
And are you back in the pool yet?
Oh, hooray! I shall see you back in sunny/not-so-sunny Cali.
(And re. exhaustion after a couple blocks--welcome to how most of America feels.)
w00t! But what's the significance of the hemoglobin?
Why shouldn't you tell us that iron pills and red meat boosted your red blood cell count? Are you afraid our sympathy will cease?
(W00t, of course.)
Congratulations!
M: They think what was on the slides are artifacts.
P: How can they be artifacts if I saw them twice?
However, it appears that the canals of Mars may be in your stomach. Been feeling queasy?
'Tis better not to have stomach cancer than to have stomach cancer, is what I always say.
Are you afraid our sympathy will cease?
That, and when I make a fool of myself, I can't just say, "Hey, hemoglobin."
Anyway, my family is pretty pissed at the pathologist (and they don't even know about my conversation with him) because they think he got it wrong twice and scared the shit out of everybody (and I'll have to have an annual endoscopy for a few years yet). I figure he was just being cautious.
Not back in the pool yet. Soon, I hope.
And the hemoglobin is about how much blood I lost post-surgery, and the fact that blood loss makes one tired and stupid.
Wonderful.
7 + does red meat & iron have anything to do with stamina?
That, and when I make a fool of myself, I can't just say, "Hey, hemoglobin."
Dude, you were blogging for years without this excuse.
Congrats!

12: Iron=hemoglobin=oxygen transport
Better cautious than not; scaring people sucks, but reassuring them falsely sucks way worse.
I think you should still have carte blanche to say "hey, hemoglobin" when *other* people make fools of themselves, however.
Congratulations, ogged. And now you know why all those vampire victims wander around aimlessly.
Is this why the cancer blog's been dormant? I can see 'I'm probably fine, but I won't know for another three months" being an awfully hard post to write.
Is this why the cancer blog's been dormant?
Yes, exactly. I think I even already have a "limbo" post on that thing. I've really had nothing to say on the topic for the past couple of months; I've just been trying not to think about it.
Titties! Hooray!
(This news is equivalent to titties in its goodness value!
Sweet. You now know that you are bulletproof in regards to all helath risks, and can act accordingly.
That's great news.
Medal of Honor for the biospy! May her cover never be blown!
I, and the historical record, have no idea what you're talkng about, Weiner.
God and your conscience know what I'm talking about.
Congratulations, Ogged! Dreary Mondays are much better without cancer.
so good it makes me lose my ability to distinguish between homonyms, it seems.
Wonderful news!!! I'm so happy, both for you and in general.
It says something about the preoccupations of this blog that when I read LB's 2, I thought: Wow, the second comment and we're already asking Ogged about his dating habits?
Never mind. Congrats, Ogged. I can't begin to imagine how unburdened you must feel.
Way to appropriate 9/11 for your own purposes, Ogged.
Oh, awesome. Just fabulous news, ogged. Big hugs, of, you know, the virtual and otherwise non-invasive kind.
Congratulations Ogged, and happy eats!
This is excellent news, though it may well ruin my plan to spend the night moping.
You could mope about how you didn't get news nearly this good yourself tonight.
A foolish blog commentary is the hemoglobin of little minds.
my first thought was, "god, I hope I didn't make fun of ogged for having stomach cancer lately", but it seems like my conscience is clear, so w00t! also, w00t to the infinity!!
I actually have a t-shirt that says "W00t!" on it, and I am totally wearing that with my mind in celebration.
w00t! Congratulations!
Though I suppose this means you'll be expecting people to watch DVDs for themselves now.
