Medical Update
My doctor game me a nasal spray and an antibiotic prescription to deal with the sinus trouble, although he did not officially say it was a sinus infection.
In other news, my blood pressure was 140/90 which is down from 150/100 last time I saw him. According to his scales I weigh a little less than 300 pounds, but every time I have weighed there it has been higher than I expected. I even tested it against a hospital's scales once and his came out higher. Our scales at home had me at 285-290 and dropping. Of course all that matters is the "and dropping" part of it. I don't care what my exact weight is; I just want to weigh less.
We talked about the occasional swelling and pain I have in my right foot and he and I are both in agreement that it is a circulation problem caused by too much time in chairs. Fortunately, as I am working on getting my weight down I am walking more, which is one of the best exercises I could do right now.
Finally, I discussed some sexuality issues with him. I told him how frequently I paw off (1 to 2 times a day on average) and how sexual I am, as well as describing the past few times I have had problems getting and/or staying hard through to orgasm (when not pawing off). He gave me samples of 3 different ED medications (including Viagra), one of which lasts for about 36 hours. (I will be taking one of those the weekend of my birthday party!) He said that after I try them out and decide what I like and don’t like, he’ll write me whatever prescriptions I need for it. *wide grin*
(Surprisingly, Kupok was not terrified by this thought! *chuckles*)
EDIT:
Back on 01-25-2007 a number of us met at Midtowne Spa and while we were there we had HIV & STD testing. The HIV results were given within 20 minutes and, as expected, were negative. I finally remembered to grab Kupok and call in and get the results of the other tests, which were also negative, as expected.
