I slept like a log last night. Fell asleep around 10 and just woke up. I haven't slept that solid in a while. Felt good.

So I went to the doctor yesterday. I couldn't take the issue any more. Wednesday was hell for me in terms of the pressure I was feeling in my groin. Sitting in that workshop for six hours was torture. I felt like I had to pee every three seconds even though I knew I didn't. I finally caved in and made a doctor's appointment. As a result yesterday I had:

- to pee in a cup
- get needles in my arms for blood
- have cold hands on my balls
- get fingers shoved up my ass

And I paid for the experience. Yay doctors. End result? There's a problem with my prostate. Oh joy. We are waiting to here back on the test results to rule out cancer. The doctor was confident it wasn't but he still wanted to run the tests to be 100% sure. It could still just be an infection, although he feels that it is just old age hitting me. Fine be that way. He did give me some meds to start on but those will take up to a week to get into my system and really make a difference. As of right now, I am not feeling any change. Last night was painful when I tried to go to bed.

That is how I spent the majority of my day. I was there from about 10 until 1 dealing with everything. I did manage to get back to the parking meter with 6 minutes to spare so I estimated my time pretty well. I got home at the same time as B. I needed to go back out to get my prescription around 3 and we hit the grocery store at the same time. Came back, put away groceries and then she wanted Taco Bell. Fine. It's been a little while since we had it and I obliged.

Got back home, I worked on my documents, finished them, then we spent the evening watching some TV, doing my hair, and generally relaxing. She was very happy I went to the doctor because other than my one issue, the doctor said everything else is fine - blood pressure, heart rate, etc. He wants me to lose like 20 pounds but I knew that already. I also have a small hernia which he just wants to monitor but it shouldn't cause me any problems.

Went to bed and slept well. Now let's get those test results back.
