    Talk about jokes. My guy suggested that exam a couple of years ago when I had blood in the toilet. When I am leaning over his desk, and he was putting the lube on his glove, he wanted to break the ice. He said, during the test, you will feel my hand on one shoulder. If you feel my hands on both shoulders during the test, you can call the cops.

    Just as i started to crack up, he snuck the finger in. The diversion worked.

    Nothing quite like doctor visit jokes. I can use all the laughs I can get as I do have expected anxiety about all of this, more than ever during such bizarre times!

    I made the appointment for the Prostate MRI, as I want to get as much of this over as fast as I can considering this pandemic.

    After I made the appointment I got a message from the NP: "Urine culture is not final yet, but it does seem to have a very slight bacteria, should finalize today or tomorrow. I'll give you a buzz once I have final results. Might want to wait a couple weeks for the symptoms to resolve and recheck your psa and get an MRI

    Again we'll chat once it is finalized"

    I almost wish I said that DRE joke and I am sure she would have handled it well but these days you never know! I can make fast wisecracks without thinking...Glad I didnt; suggest she do the DRE the way she'd like it done to her...but I still laugh everytime I think about it.

    My gf said "WE WANT BACTERIA!" Then she rubbed her finger on the bottom of her shoe and said "Are you ready for this?"
