Mustn't grumble but FFS what a load of old knackers we all are in here.

At least I can piss though.

I'm getting old. My ol' prostate and bladder have, for a couple of years, been troublesome in that pissing has become a long, drawn out process. As somebody once put it, 'It's like pissing in Morse code': dot, dot, dot...dash...dash...dot. You get the picture.

Yesterday me and my desk had arranged to all be in the office for a catch up and a few drinks after work. During the course of the day my need for a piss became constant, but the ability was just not there. Literally painful dribbles. Not wanting to bale, I went to the pub and sank a few pints. It became a source of much mirth my frequent trips to the gent's, though I wasn't laughing. By the time I got home around 10-ish I was in pain. By 2am I was whimpering in the shower, trying to induce the piss out by fair means or foul. Eventually managed to have a half-piss sufficient for me to take a tamsulosin and get some sleep. Seems normal (by my standards!) now, though still painful when I finish pissing.

By coincidence I mentioned all this to the G.P. at my recent 'wellness' check through work and I have a referral letter stuck on the pin board. Time to make the call I think.

Age is a bastard

Be a bit careful, Grems - there are problems other than prostate which can cause peeing problems, and some of them aren't very good and need to be attended to quickly, before they become difficult to treat. I have 2 mates in this situation at present; both thought it was "just old(er) mens' prostates" and it wasn't.

Ta. Made an appointment with the urologist for later this month. All my previous PSA tests have been fine, as was the 'digital examination'* a few weeks back, albeit he did say it was aging quicker than the rest of my body, which I think is a perfect example of the expression, 'Damning with faint praise'.


*I say fine, in as much as a bloke with hands like a docker is shoving a finger up your jacksie and prodding a very sensitive part of your innards without even having the good grace to nudge your piles out of the way. I felt like Jodie Foster in 'The Accused'.

I hate the way my swimming trunks 'shrink wrap' my knob when I get out the pool. I mean, I know no-one's looking, I know no-one cares but it still feels like I'm making a display. So I pull my shorts out a bit to get some air in.... then it looks like I farted

They’ve left a pile of materials on the verge outside for nearly a year (finally cleared today) and it was intermittent Kango day today whilst I’m trying to sleep.

Fucking neighbour weeding the bluebells on the dividing boundary between our properties and then trying to bullshit that they’ll grow back , FFS she left the other plants. Agent Orange will be deployed tmrw, scorched Earth!

Just had “book your second jab” reminder so went online to do it and they only offer one day and a narrow range of times, it happens that I’m working that day and over the time range they offer appointments. I cannot just randomly take days off at short notice.

God help anyone mess me about at work tonight.

Goes into the fridge to see what I can make for tea. Mrs W has been shopping today so have a good choice. Pick out a pack of two lovely rib eye steaks that I shall knock up with some salad.

No, we’re not having them, says Mrs W, they’re for Alex, we’re having the beef burgers.
