I was going to go up monavale road, but would your second option there be safer?

Hokay. Last Thursday, had myself a conoloscopy. For those that don't know, that's where they knock you out and shove a polaroid camera up yer kyber and do all sorts of other assorted party tricks. Anyway, it over and done with and the arseole's feeling remakably good. But my right hip and ankle is killing me. I'm thinking wtf they do to me while I was out, but don't think much of it. Went for a short 30 km ride yesterday which was okay, then did 70 km this morning. My hips still killing me and my ankles playing up something chronic, but what's worse is I have to be very delicate not to tweak my sac when I sit down. Normally it's not that badly behaved so I'm thinking I better have a look at it when I get home.
Now, I don't know about you fellas but I don't look at my sac much. It's a kind of non-descipt thing. Pretty borning. Guess it serves a purpose, but otherwise it's just meh. Anyway get home, go for a shower, flip the snag away to have a look at it, and fark me it's black. THE FARKERS BLACK!!! It's like all those years of me wishing I was hung like a black fella, god finally heard me and thought he'd play a bad joke. I'm half hung like a black fella alright. Just the wrong bit. Now I'm thinking WTF did they do to me while I was under? Take a bludy cricket bat to em or something? I mean why would they mess with them? Were they playing up in class or something so they took the paddle to em? So I've got a black sac and I don't know what it means. Hopefully a black sac doesn't turn into a bad sac, then I will be living up to my name. Don't know how this is going to effect my ride down to Narabeen on Thursday. Don't know how black sacs effect one on the bike?
So moral of the story. If ever you're going to go in for a procedure where they knock you out, get it video tapped. Who knows what the bastids do to you while you're out of it.

It'd be funny alright if it wasn't so damn bizzare. Doesn't really hurt though which could be a good or bad thing. I'm just sitting here thinking what happens when your sac dies? Do they give you a sac transplant? Or could they cut out your armpit and sew it over? I'd have a hairy sac then.

This week in General Horsepill, starring the Anaesthetist, The Doctor, and Nurse Nancy:
A: "That should just about do it, he's all yours doc"
D: "Why thankyou Charles. Fine specimen this one. What's he in for?"
NN: "Colonoscopy. Here's his chart. I'll start with the lube."
D: "There's no need for lube Nurse Nancy. This is a special case."
NN: "OMG Doctor, whatever do you mean?"
D: "Well remember how we haven't been able to get together for a few weeks now?"
NN: "Yes Doctor."
D: "And how it hurts everytime I gaze on your ample braests and get aroused?"
NN: "Yes Doctor."
D: "And how you aching for some hard pumpin action?"
NN: "Yeth Doctor..."
D: "Well this is the guy that bowled the ball that hit me in the ghoulies..."
NN: "I'll fetch your cricket bat, STAT!"
D: "Good girl Nancy....."
... And so Sacman's life hangs in the balance. Will Nurse Nancy and the Evil Doctor do their worst? Will the Anaesthetist come to and save the day? These answers questioned and more on next weeks episode....

lol. Jock. Sad part is, it might be true. Actually one of the nurses wasn't a bad sort. I was kind of hoping at least she'd be the one responsible. The doctor frankly scared me.

Is it a bruise, or lack of blood flow. Wait. I really don't want to know.

Well, it's a bit swollen... Oh you mean the sac? Nah, it's a little swollen, so it'd be bruising.. I hope. Necrolysis or some **** would suck.

Using Gooooogle as an authoratative reference for everying medical, your symptoms don't sound consistent with the normal side effects from a colonoscopy. Get thee to your doctor for a quick checkup. You don't wanna go back to hospital at Xmas time. Is not a very cheery place

maybee they knew your handle on here and decided it was time to live up to the name??
my guess would be that they have moved you on the table. if they put you out, youd be on your back, but to go on their fantastical journey into the bowels of badsac, they would ahve had to roll you over im guessing? when they did so, nurse ironhand and doctor cupncough probably wernt too carefull with your namesake and placed your body weight on it, hence bruising and otherwise untasteful discomfort.

[edit] that wasn't very clear: burn happened after 60km of hilly stuff, on the first intense little rise on the hwy racing the cagers to werk[/edit].

Normal. First hour or so after a big hitout the day before is always struggletown.....then your body gives up conplaining and just knuckles down. Day in, day out you can adapt to increased workload and mileage.
Reminds me of when Charlie Walsh would schedule a full day of pursuit training in Adelaide.....when the boys had done 250km on the road the day before. Imagine 150km plus....on the track.

Man, it just boggles the mind about what must go on when you're out of it and at their mercy.
Been looking at it every half an hour just making sure it don't look like it'll wither and drop off. If I go have a look at find the old fella black and swollen I'll think I'm making some bizzare metamorphis. Maybe X-Men is true and black balls is my mutation?

I was watching Phil Thuaux doing some pursuit training yesterday. Would roll off the back of the derny at 50kph, then go past it and keep that pace up for several laps dropping anyone who sat on his wheel. On an open air track! Freak. And he's only just started training for it. I hate being feeble.

Good to see how pursuit training has evolved over the last 15 years......I remember watching Billy-Joe doing EXACTLY the same thing at Blackburn track in 1990. Cue one extremely skinny dude folded in half taking flyers off the derny at nearly 60kmh and holding a 3/4 lap lead for a hadful of laps glued to the bottom of the track before swinging up.....impressive.

my new "training partner", Max Rainsford was telling me how crap the Blackburn Velodrome was; saying the banks weren't steep enough for the tightness of the bends -- not for someone of his speed, at least. He said he once popped a rear tyre there and slid 40m around the bend
