I called my GP's today for a followup on the WHACK of blood and urine tests I submitted Monday past. Lori answered, with a very husky voice... a cold?... the flu? Yes, I can get you in first after lunch (the best appt time other than FIRST in the morn) on March 3. Oh, and a prostate exam, too, please? No can do.... the review is just a quick deal... can't do a prostate exam in the visit as I am squeezing you in. ????

I know Lori, so I thought she was joking about Squeezing me in and I joked back. I said, "Well, I'll bring my own swipe and be ready to wipe my ass, so that should cut the prostate exam time down to less than a minute." Complete silence... from the new lass, Gloria... Lori took another job. And, now, Gloria and I are good friends.
