Nancy,

NB> DS> I printed out a picture of the critter, and display it at the
NB> DS> session to the examiners to remind us to "keep it down to a low roar".

NB>Nice... :)

  Ham radio operators have two things in common with most other people.
We like to talk...and we like to eat. <G>

NB>Smart ladies...  :)  I'm a little surprised that they didn't just keep
NB>you on a catheter for the first night or so, knowing that all that fluid
NB>was going to be moving through... or did you simply decline that...

  Oh, My Lord, NO!! The urologist said he didn't think a catheter was
needed, because I always get severe and painful bladder spasms with it.
Since I was able to urinate, even with dysuria (pain and burning) for
about 6 hours, a catheter wasn't needed. I sleep very little with one,
and can barely walk or move around. However, I thought I was going to
"pee my member off". :P

NB>Indeed... Good thing it's taken care of now...  :)

  I see the urologist for a follow-up on Wednesday. I want to find out
what I can eat and drink, and what to avoid, to keep the stones from
forming. Plus, I get the next blood work for the Low-T treatment
(implants in alternating butt cheeks every 4 months). However, if the
male does NOT deal with it, Low-T can create, or greatly aggravate
cardiovascular and diabetes issues!! For a man, Low-T, E.D., impotence,
etc. are all part of growing old...just as hot flashes, menopause,
vaginal dryness, etc., are all part of growing old for females. To me,
the ONLY thing GOLDEN about "The Golden Years" is the color of your
urine. :P

NB> DS> One time, I thought the nurse would kiss me!! :) She said "this
NB> DS> makes it so much easier on us"!!

NB>And indeed it does...  :)

  Then, I don't have to remember everything. I had to go to the Foot
Clinic this morning to get the toenails trimmed (the arthritis is so bad
that I can't squeeze the clippers), but was told "unless there's a major
change", a medlist isn't necessary (although they got one the first time
I was there). I do provide a medlist to the rest of the appointments.
