5 November: Friday bloody quertfloofer.

Didn't poo on Thursday. And Friday's poo was HARD. That's unusual for me. I really had to push. And as you can see, there was blood. Not a lot of blood, but red in poo is never welcome. I'm 99% sure the blood is due to hemorrhoids. I found out I had hemorrhoids at my last colonoscopy. I didn't even know I had them. I have no symptoms, other than occasional bloody poo. There's no pain, no itching. I guess that makes me lucky. My father had hemorrhoids so bad once the only thing he could do for relief was sit in a tub of hot water.

So--bloody poo. Is this the new "normal"? We'll see.
