[…] I just received a note (today, May 3) in the mail from Dr. Chucktastic.Â It’s dated April 28.Â It’s results for a lab on April 19.Â At the bottom, beneath a bunch of unchecked tests I didn’t take, it reads, “Testicular ultrasound showed no evidence of tumor.” […]

Watch out there, 4af, I wouldn’t mess with a gunslinger. He’d probably shoot holes in all your silver dollars, or something.

Julio and Friedrich. They’re the very bestest of friends. So, yes, very droopy indeed.

Tacky, yes, but not nearly tacky enough. All these years, and still so much to learn. Still so much to teach.

Forgot to mention that my dad had started calling me Huan Hung Lo. Very clever, that man.

Ok, I just have to ask….do “the boys” have names? Like, would one miss the other if he were gone? Would he droop in sorrow or shrink in sadness?
Is that tacky? Probably so. I learned it from you. Yes, I blame everything on you.

I had some training in ultrasound. (didn’t do it — no talent for reading the screen) the expert I interned with would tell people if she found nothing out of the range of normal, but wouldn’t say anything at all if she found anything out of the ordinary — she is not legally allowed to do diagnosis, so she can’t say what she found. So, she was going out on a limb to say, “Looks normal to me, you’ll hear from the doctor in three days.” (You should have seen the hop to activity when we found a large aortal aneurism on a patient! She jumped up and dragged the doctor in, right now.)
so glad yours was a false alarm — may it be ever so.

Do they make a little nut whip, so we can keep those guys in line? What am I talking about, I’m sure they do.

Yeah, I had my first lump in ze breast last year, and at age 29, got my first mammogram (sucks!). Along with the first HIV test, I think it’s one of those rites of passage through which we all go.

My first rule is Don’t Worry Unless You Have Reason to Worry.

I’m glad you’re ok.

Lordy.
I had *no idea* men’s parts were so, well, testy.
