Jesus! It’s colder than a witches tit wearing a brass bra at the North Pole.
I’ve been under the weather for the last few days with some digestive problems. I think they’re all cleared up. I hope so since I’m leaving on Thursday to go skiing in Colorado.
So, anyway, this morning, it was time for my quarterly visit to the pain clinic to make sure all the meds I’m on are working and to get my pain med prescriptions renewed. Now, the DEA has checked in and mandated that on every visit to the pain clinic I have to pee in a cup. Alas, I hadn’t been notified of this policy since it just started the first of the year. I didn’t have a catheter with me, and there weren’t any at my medical facility which seems rather strange since there is a urology department there. So, I had to go home to get a catheter and then return to give them a sample. That’s all I wanted to do on the coldest day of the year. Make another trip to the doctor’s office. At least it had warmed up from 9 degrees to 22 degrees. Supposed to get up in the 40’s tomorrow. A heat wave!
Damn gummint!
Enjoy skiing, I’ve three more weeks before my son and I get to ski.
Well, at least it’s warmer than it would be if you used ‘a witch’s tit in a titanium titsling on Farside during a total lunar eclipse’ as the analogy!
May I borrow your first sentence? I need it to describe our Toronto wind chill of minus 41. It makes me wish that the global warming nuts would be right after all, and that we would all be sweating instead of freezing. It’s colder here than on Baffin Island. And my Inuit friends tell me that it’s very cold out there.
In your case, I guess it should be: Don’t ever leave home without it (the catheter). Hard to understand a medical facility without some! Hope you’ll be in the best condition for your skiing trip.
Borrow away Claudia. It’s not original. I remember hearing it 40 years ago.
I always pack catheters and gloves in my backpack, but I don’t usually take it with me when I go to the doctor’s office, unless I have a UTI and know I’ll have to give them a urine sample. This is the first time they haven’t had a catheter. I guess it’s just as well since the last time they did have one it was an oversized one and I had a hell of a time getting it up my urethra. Next time I’ll know. I’ll prolly just put one in my car along with some hand cleaner. I couldn’t believe they didn’t have a clean cath kit. They used to always give me one of those to use when I had a UTI and I needed to give them some urine.
Pee test?
Fuh whut?
To make sure you’re taking all your meds and not selling some on the side?
Who thinks this shit up??
That’s what I thought. I’m taking methadone legally. Do they expect to find more methadone? Who thinks it up? The gummint!
