Re: What's annoying you today?
People who don't do their jobs properly annoy me.
This morning I took my mother to a walk-in clinic to check about shingles. She had a rash on her back that was spreading around to her breast area and stomach. Normally, she would go to her own doctor but he doesn't work on Mondays. Anyway, the clinic wait time was under 30 minutes and the doctor did confirm that she has Shingles. He issued a couple of prescriptions for pain relief and an anti-viral, Valtrex. I took the prescription to the pharmacy to have it filled but the pharmacist wasn't able to proceed because one of the scripts was missing a signature and the other one was missing a code.
I'm still waiting because the clinic hasn't responded to the pharmacy about the missing info. What a waste of day.

My Valentine's Day action consisted of a Cystoscopy.

Re: What's annoying you today?
I can say firsthand it's every bit as awkward, uncomfortable and downright painful as that illustration makes it out to be. Seriously, they should knock people the fuck out or at least give 'em a ball gag. They knock you out for ass probing, why not for penis-scoping?
Wanna know more? Sure ya do!
The procedure is done to look for issues inside the bladder and prostrate, like infections, stones and cancer. You're laid out naked on a table with a paper napkin on your crotch (what's the point?), no drugs or anesthesia. The urologist sticks this plastic syringe into your wanker and shoots up this supposedly antibacterial "numbing" jell (that burns like a motherfucker) then slowly shoves this 3 foot long flexible rod/camera right in there that's about the diameter of a small straw that's connected to a video screen. Then the fun really begins - he injects a load of sterile water to test your bladder pressure which then squirts back out all over my torso like a spouting whale. Then he takes a couple tiny "scrapings" of tissue samples for a lab to analyze from around the inside of the prostrate which hurt like nobody's business. About 15 minutes, and it's done.
The reason why this was done in the first place was about a month ago I started pissing blood. Not just kinda pinkish-tinged pee, but ruddy red blood, even small clots, like someone cut a small artery. That's usually a sign of a bladder infection (which I got a few times back in my teens when I swam a lot) or worse, kidney stones. Kidney stones scare the fuck outta me - I've known a few guys who've passed one and to a person they all say said it was by far the worst thing they'd ever experienced. But I wasn't in any real pain and no fever, which are classic symptoms of either issue. After a round of antibiotics did zip, I had an ultrasound and a full torso radioactive dye injection CT scan (which looks really cool) which at least ruled out stones. At this point, they're looking for internal injuries, prostrate issues and cancer. The cystoscopy was the last step.
Amusingly, about 5 days ago, I stopped pissing blood and yesterday when I had the cystoscopy, I was fine. After that, the rest of yesterday and to a lesser extent this morning, it was like pissing battery acid. As of now, they've ruled out kidney failure, stones and cancer, they're not sure wtf is going on.
What I understand, about 40%+ of men have this done at some point by the time they get to 50 for most of the reasons noted above, so boys, here's something to look forward to. Getting old sucks.

Re: What's annoying you today?
I love the way you talk and the fact that they've ruled out some nasty shit, but it fucking sucks that you had to go through this. I wish I die before needing to get that done.

There'd be a very spirited pro conscious sedation discussion.

Believe me, I had that conversation. Basically, if I could have gotten my doctor to even approve sedation, it would have to be done in a hospital and thanks to my new PPO insurance, it would have added thousands of dollars to my co-pay for the procedure.SR wrote:There'd be a very spirited pro conscious sedation discussion.
Re: What's annoying you today?
One way or another, you pay. Pick your poison. I had a colenoscopy and it was done in a mini OR with an anesthesiologist and an MD. Your procedure sounds like torture.

Nor’Easter 3 Brings Blizzard Warnings, Up To Two Feet Of Snow Possible
By Terry Eliasen, Meteorologist, WBZ-TV Exec. Weather Producer

BOSTON (CBS) – Bombo-Blizzard 2018!
Hard to believe after two monster nor’easters in the last 10 days that the atmosphere would have anything left to give, but it may have just saved the best (or worst) for last.

I fucked the muscle above my knee on Sunday night, it still hurts. I didn't run this week, but I have a music festival this weekend. I will finally get to see Gorillaz. Going to wear a leg band, but don't know if I will stand it all day. Wish me luck
Re: What's annoying you today?
Also, I'm pissed for not winning any contest I've entered so far. No Bruce Springsteen show/meet and greet, no GoT first look at last season's first episode or meeting the cast. Fuck you Omaze. There, I feel better now. Until next time.

I didn't get blown up, and I have to be worried about being blown up

Oh man, I have such a hangover today. Guess that's the price I pay for going out to the bar with 6 Newfies.. Had a blast, so worth it.

I drank a bottle and a half of red wine about two weeks ago; I plan to be on the wagon for an indefinite period of time.
