I don't give blood

If you don't give it willingly, they'll take it by force.

You seem quite preoccupied with that procedure.

My doctors fingers are seven inches long. She gets to the second knuckle, I moan just to make it uncomfortable for everyone.

It's something all men of a certain age get tested for yearly. The procedure is a rites of passage thing for everyone

I had a kidney and bladder ultrasound and have an enlarged prostate. It happens to most men as they age.

In my case they're checking for cancer because there is a concern. Guy two houses down didn't go to a doc (like you, relatively healthy) and just got his prostate removed last year. He told me he wished he would have gone earlier as there was a chance for a different procedure if caught early. He had prostate cancer and is good now

Well then don't go to Dr Nick with the office above the laundrymat then

A good doctor can save you miles of bad times if you go yearly

Damn! I didn't realize that stuff was such a scourge.. Whats the half-life on that organism?

If not treated, 6-18 months apparently. Supposedly direct sunlight, several types of antifungals and bleach will kill the spores. Weve had the kittens sequestered in my studio while we cleanse the house, and until they are clear of the spores as well.its a pits. My mother came and visited weekend before last, before we knew for sure what was wrong with kittens, now she has ringworms too.

Heading over to the vet in a little bit. We're going to have to put our cat Nermal down this evening. Still not eating and not getting any better after the initial vet visit. He's 18 and he's lived a good life and been a good cat. I think it's just his time. It's extra hard though because he was the cat my dad picked out (we've had him since he was about 6 months old) so it's like losing another piece of him too. But for Nermal, it's the right thing to do, he shouldn't have to suffer any more than he most likely already is. Still doesn't make it any easier. What a shitty way to end the day.

[DemonGeminiX]

Sorry, man.

Nermal

[lost in melb.]

That's a lot of Cat years.

Good luck to the little fella in the next life

Never easy, Lance. Condolences.

Thats insane man..

[Godfather]

Sorry lance, awful to lose a pet

Thanks guys....but the shitty night got even worse. After we mentally prepare ourselves for this, we get Nermal in the cat carrier (a place he DOES NOT like to be, he has never traveled well, which our vet is aware of) and we head to the vet. My wife had called them at 2:45 and they knew we we were coming and would be there by 6. We're a little early, but not that much, and as soon as we walk in, without asking who we were or why we were there, a snotty vet tech snapped from behind the desk "there's a 2 hour wait for walk-ins!" So we tell the girl at the counter who we were and why we were there. After a few minutes she apologized and said we're sorry, because of all the emergencies right now, we don't have a room available for you, it will be 60 to 90 minutes. Mind you, we've been using this vet for almost 7 years now and we bring all out animals here. It's not like we're strangers, we've spent a LOT of money there. Regardless, no room available and they never bothered to call us and say hey, maybe you might not want to come down right now, call ahead and check and see how things are in an hour. NO, instead we traumatize Nermal and ourselves and end up going back home. We wait until 7 and call back and my wife is put on semi-eternal hold. FINALLY someone gets back on the line and they are still busy and....my wife cuts them off and says we were calling back about having to put Nermal down but obviously you guys don't have time for us, and she hung up.

We're all upset and now pissed at this point and now we have to do this all over again while Nermal has to suffer through another day.


So that's how my Monday went.
