@decryption livestream thanks
@decryption is— is that a pun…? 🤔
@itgrrl nah i'm literally getting an ultrasound of my prostate!
the fact i'm getting old enough to need this, the fact taking a piss takes way too long and happens too often, the fact i don't want to end up like my dad who had prostate/bladder issues for the last 20 years of his life, the fact of having a "finger shaped transducer" up my arsehole and wiggled around by a stranger is hilarious and embarrassing to me
@decryption funny, I bought an endoscope from Amazon yesterday and it arrived about half an hour after your mastodon post.
@georgeharito DIY prostate exam would save some money and you can do it in the comfort of your own home
@decryption this endo I got has a 5m cable, plenty to do DIY
@decryption if you end up needing surgery or 'something to shrink it' get in touch, I've had experience (positive)
@buddhawilliams my Dad had a TURP 15 years ago, worked well for him but I'm hoping medication alone will be enough, we'll find out on monday when I see the GP
@decryption The new Rezum procedure is incredible...
@buddhawilliams i would hope they've made some improvements the last decade and a bit!
@decryption not fun but could save your life. Don't be a fuckwit like my dad and ignore the prostate cancer that killed him.
