It sucks that testicular is so fun to say, because nothing good ever comes from the word.
Because whenever you're saying it, there is almost always a negative word to follow it like cancer or issues, it's never "Hey, what do you say we go have some testicular fun?"
So lets talk about my recent medical issues, since some of you asked and it's probably more of a face to face conversation, because it is quite a long story, but what the hell.
So a little over a week ago, while doing the daily morning inspection of my face, you know... checking to see if there is anything fun to pick at or pop, I noticed a bump on my throat and freaked the fuck out. Given my career in life a bump on your throat could be the worst thing in the world, and 1 thing i know in life, is that bumps are never fucking good. So within a couple days i did what i haven't done in almost 8 years, and set up a doctors appointment. The appointment wasn't going to be till April 7th though and in between the time that i called and a few days later all that i could think about was cancer, death and other bullshit along those lines, so Saturday after work i said "fuck it" and went to Manchester hospital ER, where I got a diagnosis of a thyroid nodule, which was a HUGE relief, even though i didn't really know what it was. Shit! They could have told me I had the most fucked up diesese that meant i was going to die, but as long as it wasn't cancer i was going to be releived.
So at this point I had to call my doctors office and tell them what was going on and I did that yesterday morning and I thought they were going to just adjust the appointment that I already had, but they brought me in a few hours later. Like I said, this was my first time going to a doctor in quite some time, so I was fairly nervous. So the doctor was pretty easy going and comforting about everything, and now i have to go get bloodwork done sometime this week, an throat ultrasound on the 6th and a follow up on the 9th.
But then while I was there I decided to ask about something that had been bothering me for awhile, and why I started this blog off the way I did. Not because I thought I had testicular cancer, but because I felt I had testicular issues, which in fact are not fun, or fun to talk about really. But i'm pretty comfortable with it at this point and you usually get REALLY fun looks once you even say testicle or testicular. It's a blushing word. So, It feels like there is extra "tubing" in there and after playing interweb doctor, I found something called veracele (not sure if that's the right spelling). Which pretty much to a T, was what i had going on, and basically it means I have a clog in one of the tubes and makes it so everything doesn't mix properly. Which if I didn't ever want to have children, I could live a perfectly normal life without ever having to get a surgery for, or take meds or anything like that. But I would like to, so i'll be going to a urologist as well on top of all of my pending doctors appointments.
So there it is. Even though I have all these tests coming up, I am horribly relieved and excited that after all is said and done, I will be able to have a semi-clean bill of health. Which is going to be the first time i'll be able to say that since I was about 18.
