Phoned up today to enquire about my long overdue referral for my hydrocele. Now feeling like the size of a coconut and very uncomfortable. No face to face, but I have been given a phone consultation the week after next with a urologist. Not sure what this will achieve. Pity it's not a WhatsApp appointment. I could drop my pants and give them a good look. Obviously with a history of bladder cancer, the anxiety levels are high. Also, overdue for my regular flexi. I will wait and see how my phone consultation goes before chasing up. Happy days. Best wishes.
Tough times at the moment Rily. I hope your telephone consultation goes well. It is the waiting and anxiety with this coronavirus situation that is making life difficult for us all. If anyone can et through the difficult times with humour it will be you Rily. Getting ready for my five mile walk with the Chocolate Labrador who is blissfully asleep. Raining
️ again.

Hi Rily, that's been a really long old wait ref hydrocele. I guess the consult with urologist might get it sorted quicker if they make it a priority. Hope so, rotten to live with such discomfort and the underlying anxiety. My fingers are crossed for you. Sending love x
Hey Garviv your legs (and the lab's) must be so fit from these long walks. My lot (2 + my daughters 1 at present) get an hour romping in the woods or over the moor if not sunny (adder risk) which includes the car trip. Chocolates are so beautiful like cuddly bears, though I'm a black lab person myself. My 15 month old male has just had his neutering op as an emergency since next door's female is about to come into season. So far he has ripped his way through two recovery suits at £18 a pop!
