Is this a diary? Seems some folk don't like em, all I know is it helps me. Sometimes I read the early pages and remember how I was feeling then as opposed to now, I still have bad days but on reading back I can balance things out and all the messages of support are a great help to me.
As mentioned previously I stopped taking one of my tablets due to the consultant saying I need to have monthly liver function tests., the tablet in question was prescribed to help with the night(and day) sweats which are a side effect of the hormone therapy. Stupid decision, 2 days later and at work it is like a tap is perched on my head, and the good lady mentioned how soaked the bed sheets are...seems the tablets did work ...bug ger... I have started taking them again
Tomorrow is my injection day so I best mention what the consultant said.
I was debating all day yesterday whether to play the Dtd games, I really enjoy them but like I said before if I get lucky and run well it makes for a late night , decided to play and ran ok apart from my AA getting beat by jj, new I should have folded pre my exit hand was AK v his AA , is that irony?

One person doesn't like them Tom
But he's horrible and no one likes him. So it's ok.
I'm so pleased that the diary has helped you. That's the most important thing. As a bonus, it's also enjoyed by many people on here as well. You inspire us all and I love your understated wit.
Today is one of my 3 a week, poker days that is...until...
Day started off fine, was a little chilly in the morning so I lit the fire at work, may have been a flawed decision. I was absolutely boiling approx half an hour after lighting it, and you can't just "turn off" burning wood, unless your in the films Jon may watch in his lonely moments.
I had a doctor and nurse appointment this evening at 6-15 and 6-20, I thought that was great as I didn't need to take time off work. Finish work at 5pm as per usual, got to docs at 5-45, bit early but hey ho. Then....
Spoke to kindly receptionist about booking a liver function blood test ( I didn't forget, I'm awesome )
Her reply surprised me somewhat, I mentioned the consultant had pointed out I need them, she asked why do I need them now? Erm mm, because I have been on a certain tablet which may bug ger up my liver I suppose , then I got to thinking, they prescribed it for me for the past 18 months, should they know?
Couldn't do it same time as my other injections as they send bloods off lunchtime..fffff.
Spoke to lovely nurse who did my pros tap injection ( at 7pm,she was running late) who didn't seem to know if there was any system for highlighting this,she said perhaps the hospital should inform them.
She looked up the tablets in question, then booked me for...full bloods, liver, kidney , glucose, and other stuff I've already forgotten. I should have my next hormone injection 3 months from today, I can have it 2 days either side of 3rd November.
I am on holiday til the 6th....TRAUMATISED. Early night for me. Tomorrow is another day...
Over on the fun page it seems vibrant at present, keep it up chaps.
Sorry if mine is the total opposite at present, thems the breaks huh.
Had a fairly early night and quite a decent sleep, only got up 3 times, this morning my ablutions revealed I have blood where it probably shouldn't be, good lady tried to re-assure me I could just have an infection, maybe..
Rang docs who informed me to come straight in and provide a sample.
Rang them this afternoon, they have sent the sample to hospital, fingers crossed .

Brief update, I am not sure how things are at present. I rang docs on Friday,the receptionist told me the results weren't back yet , then said oh I thought you said blood sample, the sample you did was clear ( good news?) but could you ring Monday as the doctor needs to sign it off ....
I had a shower this morning, now here comes the naughty bit..close your eyes ladies, I may have done what naughty children do in the swimming pool ( not the floaters) the blood comes at the beginning, I made a schoolboy error in providing the sample for docs, I did a "mid stream" sample, surely that doesn't matter, and there will be traces? Who knows....
Mid morning I had to change my "y fronts" ( real men wear them ) as my naughty bits were a tad ****..
I have a blood test booked for Monday, I will mention all the above to the nurse.
Really sorry to hear of Paul's good ladies' situation, he has been a real help to me in the past, still is. I haven't met him (yet) just goes to show what a really decent chap he is, I wish him and Penny all the best.
Played a bit of poker tonight, cashed in a couple of tourneys, mind not really on it but need the distraction.
Thank you all, very humbling to receive such messages of support.
The doctor didn't seem too concerned with my "tale" of woe, is he one of those practiced in the art of deception ? Or there's nowt to worry about
firstly he said " oh it could be anything really " apparently my prostate could be shedding dead stuff, ( bit hurty where it's shedding it to, could've picked the other place
Alternately it could be a stone or summat ( I am not an elephant who sucks up stones through my nether regions, but he's the pro)
Then he asked me if I had a certain procedure, he gave it a name I couldn't pronounce , I replied I don't know, he said oh you would know if you have had it...oooooo kkkkkk....
He then made a note to my consultant to have the certain procedure, involving a camera, which doesn't enter your body through your mouth , or behind you, I hope it's not them sort they use to make documentaries in the wild.
So , seems I have been a bit of a cry baby...sorry chaps.
