Lots of guys here who are approaching or who have reached 50. Do yourself a favor. Have a colonoscopy. The golf ball sized mass they found was benign, but a year from now, who knows? There's nothing to it. In fact, if I hadn't known why I was there, I could have woke up and never known what they did. Do it, it could save your life.

Mark, best of luck with your surgery. I'll keep you in my prayers.

BBR, wishing you a smooth recovery..

Mark, our thoughts are with you. A good friend of mine and a fellow official had the same procedure (replacing a valve) two years ago. The recovery is fairly long as you're aware but in his case, he's back to officiating and he's feeling and loooking great on the floor. You'll be out on the floor in no time chasing those young whippersnappers.
