    Engineering feat like no other

    Growing old is turning out to be as advertised. Studied all night for a stool sample test. Was at doctors yesterday and I am being diagnosed for either a blockage or an infection in GI tract this morning. Engineered a painless way to get the sample bottled without any unwanted turmoil. I am out the door at 9 for an abdominal xray and to deliver said specimens. This is my 5th straight day at the doctors offices. My GF had a stroke 3 weeks ago and she had 4 appointments This is number 2 for me pun intended.

    No one likes to go to a/the doctor, but medical knowledge and technology has come a long, long way. Our bodies break down, but hope and a positive attitude really do help. Good luck and take care.

    Glad to hear you “passed” your test. Good luck with at the docs. When I was in my late forties I started seeing a female internal medicine doctor. That was 18 years ago. She’s an exceptional doctor, and also quite attractive. Makes me look forward to my once a year prostate exam.

    One of my buddies has a female Dr also. Makes for some good stories when we go fishing.

    Cant make this s/it up. I had a stash of nitrile gloves behind my seat in the truck since before Covid. I needed 2 this morning and the box had one left. Hence the engineering feat.

    Prayers, great spirits and attitude for you! To help your humor, when 13 and having not hit puberty yet I got hit by a baseball in the nuts and basically destroyed one of them. The urologist was a beautiful blonde... name Dr. Hannah... I'll never forget sitting in the stirrup chair, legs spread wide, one nut the size of a grapefruit and a little boy's boner when she was sitting in front of me.

    Prayers for you. Getting old beats the alternative but there is a lot that still sux about it.

    I'm 44 and that damn check engine lite is no joke. Mine keeps coming on, and my right tie-rod keeps seizing up to which I have to keep lubricating it. I should have listened to the old timers when I was young and dumb, because moto cross is catching up with me quick.

    All joking aside I hope you and your girlfriend make full recoveries.
