What have you done today thread?

[Buckaroo]

I've been told there are a number of post-op risks, namely:

Being permanently incontinent. Given I can still control my bladder, I reckon I've dodged that bullet.

Being permanently impotent, I.e., erectile dysfunction. Well I woke up with morning glory the last few days, albeit with a groan of agony, so ditto that one.

Permanent retrograde ejaculation, I.e., I'll spaff into my bladder for the rest of my life. Not even entering my mind to burp the worm at the moment to cross that one off the list, so I'll get back to you.

Rethink on point no.1 - thought I'd take the hound on a quick walk. No more than 30 mins. Literally 5 mins from home I start to piss myself. Nothing else for it, had to stand there and piss in a hedge on a busy residential street.


FFS....

I know how you feel: my sympathy Gremmers.

It will get better with time and then you will know what the outcome is (or income if you get my drift)

Ta for that.

[Greenman]

Just tape a 2litre empty plastic bottle to the end of your knob Gremmers, will solve the problem and make it look like you have a massive member, win win.

Honestly, you guys make me laugh!! LOL

Well, mostly!

I don't drink anywhere near enough on weekends as pee stops are way more difficult when you are a girl - definitely coming back as a man! ) and then go crash out!! LOL

This made me chuckle.

Yesterday I was pissing for England. Been told to drink plenty of water, which I do anyway, but even so, I reckon every 15 mins, with no warning whatsoever. I was told to expect this post op, but even so...

Plus the colour varies from a young pinot noir to a cheap bottle of Aldi Sauv Blush. And it's bloody agony as well. Particularly when strange looking objects get passed . Assume these are clots, else this could be my last post.

So if I were you, I'd be careful what I wished for, as these pesky prostates are a world of pissing problems.

Pretty sure I won't have that in this lifetime! But equally, I think that is a problem I'd accept for all the other 'benefits' I would get from being a bloke as opposed to this lifetime of being a gurl!!

Damn Have you been offered physio. I KNOW that sounds weird. But over here you can get physio (specialist, not the normal guys!) for incontinence. I'm pretty sure it'll be possible over there, just not sure how easy it would be to find the right physio. Probably worth asking

For female incontinence issues here, you don't just get pointed at the TenaLady aisle, you get physio with a midwife to help sort out the muscles! So I'm sure it would be similar for guys

Good luck, it will get better x

I was warned when discharged that the procedure would make me need to pee urgently until things settld down. Understandable given what was shoved up there and the hacking about. I think I just tried to run before walking today, and paid the soggy undercracker price.

Still worth looking into the physio thing if you can bear the thought!!

We're changing the window colour from brown to blue. We've got a helluva lot of windows so decided to paint the ones on the 2 sides of the house that gets no sun.
The other 2 sides wouldn't take paint according to a painter mate here. So they'll need to be replaced.

So, been experimenting with paints, sprays, rollers and brushes to get the best finishes.
Making choices is always the first casualty of my anxiety.
But today I felt good so did lots of tests on some metal shelving units that a pal gave me

Happy that I've found a decent pairing of roller and paint. A good day.

Having well deserved beer in the sun now

Just been quoted over 30k to replace our patio!

You’re lucky to get someone round to quote! Couldn’t get anyone to even quote for new flooring and decking!?

Replace? Blimey. Imagine if they were quoting to do one from scratch. Half the work on ours was levelling and whackering down the base layers/road planings. The actual sandstone was cheaper per square metre than carpet!

Yep - pretty much lift existing, extend slightly add an Acco drain and replace.
£180 - £200 per sq/m just in labour.

I'd say they don't want the job. (But will do it for silly money).

Probably should have asked someone other than Iccy TBF.

Just the cheapest one on aliexpress. I just hoped it’d be good enough to do the fence panels, but you can change the spray rate to quite misty and I was able to apply several build up layers of neat pva on the external walls.

For what was, basically, a refresh of a family bathroom and en-suite, no moving pipes are waste or anything difficult, we were quoted nigh-on £30k.

I laughed at the email and went back saying it was ludicrous and straight away an email came back saying we could discuss the price. In other words, he's added a 'big gaff tax' and got called out

Told him to do one and we're doing it ourselves.

Enough I think and the day is not ended yet...

Up to take prayers at 7.30am. Popped into Lidl to do a quick shop after that, then out for a Clergy Chapter meeting, my first with this group. Then back to the Vicarage where the local police came to talk about a missing man, put up poster for them. Chatted to someone who wants to get married "because we have two children and want to do it right before God". Then sorted some admin work, about to take the dog for a longer walk in the local woods. Back home for a quick dinner and then off to be a School Governor at the local school Board meeting. Home after 10pm

You certainly earn your crust, that's for sure. That said, it's your vocation, so I suspect you'd do it no matter what.
