I went to the Dr last week for my annual physical which included the dreaded Finger Wave. The veridic is I have an enlarged prostate. I have an appointment tomorrow with an Urologist so he can inspect my enlarged Prostate. Oh joy 2 finger waves in 1 month. If he prescribes hormone therapy does that mean you guys will have to refer to me as They or Them?
To add insult to injury I’m having a Colonoscopy in 2 weeks. The joys of age never end.

Just hope they don’t put you on their monitoring plan, you get the finger wave every couple months.

I had a colonoscopy done last month. Drinking the solution on schedule and the after effects are the worst part.

Sorry to hear about your prostate issues...no fun. My dad has been dealing with prostate issues for a while and my grandpa had prostate cancer about 20 years ago.

FWIW, we all go by They/Them now and wear survivor shirts...well mine says "survivor in training."

I'm 19 and balding. I started taking Finasteride for it, and you may be put on the same medication for that as well. If you grow titties (possible) then yeah, you're a they now.

Hope everything goes well, seriously.

When I was your age it was only cool for Telly Savalas to be bald. Now it’s an in thing. Still sucks at your age. Hope the meds work with no side effects.
You can always wear a rug.😀

Well everything went OK. Enlarged but no deformities. Even though the Dr was a good looking female it’s still not a pleasant thing. I fail to see what people find enjoyable by having something put in the out door.

That's a good thing...

I always wonder if every good looking female urologist just assumes every patient she sees chose her for specifically that reason. Then I wonder if every patient she sees has considered that she believes that about them, and just don't care, and if I care little enough about being thought of that way to be one of those patients.

@bucky I've had to have a couple. First one they asked if I wanted to be knocked out. I asked if anyone ever said no???? Get a couple good magazines or a book. Day before you'll be in bathroom all day.

I had a hernia back in 2013. My son takes me to the ER I'm in agony. So a hot looking doctor comes into the room moves my junk out of the way pushes the bulge trying to put it back inside. Talk about killing the mood.

She said do you want pain meds before I try again? I said now you ask?

Well after I have surgery I go see the surgeon for the follow up. The nurse said that the surgeon has a medical student with him today is that okay?

A 20 something comes into the room by herself. She says the surgeon wants her to assess me then after she tells him, he will be in.

She has me drop my shorts moves my junk around my hernia was above my junk but I guess both of them were being thorough?

I have to admit I had more than a few dreams after that. (At my age all I have is dreams)

As an x-ray tech I’ve been involved with a few colonoscopies and the thing is that you are not put out. They give Conscious Sedation. This means you are actually awake for the procedure. They do this because you need to follow commands and turn around as they maneuver the scope around the curves of the Bowel. You just do not remember anything after the procedure. On a side note people say the craziest shit under this type of sedation. I always apologize before they put me under.
I’ve had multiple Cardio versions for my A-fib. They hit you with a big hit from a defibrillator to try and get the heart in rhythm. For that they give Propofol which is some good shit. I know why Michael Jackson liked it so much. Worst thing with a Cardio version is you get what I can describe as the worst sun burn of your like and it itches like hell for about a week after.
See what you young guys have to look forward to. Getting old is not for Sissies. Now you know why we get cranky.
