A few shots of the Fort

Good Morning
I hope all is well with you

Happy Tuesday

Warning i start the post with a long waffle about some medical issue, you may want to scroll right on by it and get to the photos :)

Today to be honest I am a bit frutstrated and my mind is racing all over the place at the moment

As you may or may not know, I had a few Colonoscopys, 6 months aprt and was gettign lot sof POlyps, nd I ended up doing a genetic test and it was discovered i have a gene which makes me at very high risk of developing colon cancer.
OK as I said my mind is all over the placve so just switching a bit here and saying so no one worries I do not have colon cancer thats not what I am frustrated about.

So back to the back story, the gene I have and how many Polyps I have had put me at a 99% chance of developinbg Colon Cancer, so the Drs recommended i have what they call a sub total Colonectomy, which is where they removed most of my colon.
as I understand it the average colon is 5 foot long, and they took out all but about 6 inches of mine.
The logic being I had never had polyps on that portion of my colon on after that on the way out if you know what I mean.

The surgery went well but i had complications, ended up needing a second surgery and spent over 5 weeks in Hospital.
So yesterday I had my colonoscopy and before it the Doctor saw me and said lets hope I dont prove him wrong and that I have no polyps on the portion left behind.
Well I had the procedure when the Dr came in, i could tell by the look on his face the result wasnt quite what he or I was hoping for, I had two polyps, and at the end of the colon and in the rectum, so now waiting for the biopsy results, but the Dr is hopeful they are not of any major concern and the biopsy results will take a week or two, and I am scheuled for a follow up in a years time for another colonoscopy.

NOw two polys isnt bad in most cases, but after having the majority of my colon removed I have to admit i was hoping for none, but I am tellign myself or trying to, ohh well its a lot better than the 20 or more I had bene having, and that the biopsy results will be good,

Today would have been a good day for a nice sunrise walk to clear my head, but alas it was pouring down and perhaps thats what has let it get on my mind, hopefuly writing this post and then editing some photos I will get back into my more positive fun mindset

OK enough of a long drawn out into lets get to the photos

A little bit about the fort
Also known as the Old Stone Fort, Fort Rodman (known as "Fort at Clark's Point" until 1898) began construction in 1857 under the third system of US fortifications, and in 1862 construction became overseen by Henry Robert, author of Robert's Rules of Order and an Army Corps of Engineers officer. The fort, as built, had emplacements for 72 cannon in three tiers; a fourth tier was originally planned, but this was removed from the design to allow more timely completion. Construction was halted in 1871, and the fort as planned was never completed.

In the past apparently they used to open it up once or twice a year for people to see the inside, but that has stopped as it is deemed unsaffe now, I hope one day they find the motivation and funding to restore it

So sorry to hear the results weren’t what you hoped for. Let’s hope in a few weeks you get better results from the biopsy.
I can imagine the frustration… take care.
Sending you some positive energy 😊
Beautiful captures of the fort with the dark sky.

Good morning, dear friend @tattoodjay

Don't worry, everything will be fine with biopsy. You're in our prayers.

It's a shame it started raining. Stay indoors.

The shots you're showing us are beautiful. This building is truly gorgeous.

Have a great day.

The fort under light treatment takes on other connotations, is magnified and acquires a fabulous appearance. Thanks for sharing

Nice shots! Best of luck with the results! I had one or two removed and now I have to go back in five years instead of the standard ten years. I'd rather keep up on it and try to get ahead of something than wait until it is too late.

I'm so sorry, Mr. @tattoodjay, that the results weren't what I expected. I'm anxiously awaiting the biopsy results. Have faith that everything will turn out well.

What beautiful shots! This building is unique and beautiful.

I think it's good that you write about what is happening to you, draining is part of that process to get some calm in the middle of the chaos, besides, after so many years there are many people who love you here in Hive, it is natural to feel identified, that some of us pray and others send good vibes so that everything goes well for you.... Today it was raining, but when you have the opportunity I know you will go for a walk, you know it is the best thing to do.

The pictures are wonderful, and you manage to make them all look so different. I can't understand why the place is unsafe inside, but there must be a reason.... Hey, the penultimate photo with the constellation orion in the firmament was my favorite. Have a nice day brother!

Love the rich blue of the second and third shots 👍 I recently suffered through a colonscopy, waiting on the biopsy too. Hope your results are good 🤞 Maybe it will clear up this afternoon and you can get out for a walk 🙂

Your photography was nice but I am more concern of your diagnosed. Follow and do what you doctor has told and undergo medical procedure that your doctor advised you. Get well soon.

Absolutely gorgeous shots! Very well done.

Now the medical stuff... Two polyps are discouraging but likely benign. I know it must be frustrating to wait to hear back on the pathology report. I'm sure things will go your way on this one, you've already had a rough go and the five weeks in the hospital and the second surgery with the complication really sucked. Plus getting back on your feet and strong enough to even walk around the house. You don't need a repeat performance of that one!

How's that shoulder treating you?

This morning i got out for a good walk before sunrise so in a better frame of mind today, yesterday I just needed to vent, yes the P{Olyps are likely benign, and I will put them out of my head till i get the notification the biopsy reslults are in :)

Shoulder is doing better day by day pHysical therapy tomorrow so lets see how that goes

I am sorry to hear about your colon, hopefully it can fully heal soon. Thank you for sharing the photos, it is cool seeing the same shot at different times of day. I particularly liked the foggy one and the one where you can see the stars.
