FC Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 I feel like a Yugo, or a Chevy Vega. I've never had great health, but age isn't helping. I split a bicuspid on bone in a hamburger, got my first-ever dental procedure, a root canal. Well, that got an abcess. I had it pulled because the root canal tooth ended up fully cracked. Then yesterday I swung up my belt sander with my dominant arm (R), because I was holding a thick cutting board I was making on edge with my left hand. I had immediate pain, and dropped the belt sander. I can't lift my arm anteriorly or lateral without using my left arm to lift it. So off to E.R. Hopefully it's just a strain. Then I went to otolaryngology, and need a second sinus surgery to remove excess bone way the heck up in the frontal sinus area. As a Mexican dishwasher used to say to me all the time, "Worse and worse, worse and worse bubba- know what I mean?" Later this week I need to find out why it's hard to pee still (had a TURP in 2014). Well, maybe it'll all get fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 That's a run of "worse and worse," certainly. Hopefully you got the bad all worked out for a while. Old age isn't for the young. They couldn't handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC Posted November 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Yesterday I had a cystoscopy. The scope was meant for a black man; I'm an Irishman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Prostate biopsy in the office had to be about the most painful I've had to go through. No anesthesia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
