I take a baby aspirin everyday and I'm told that makes it easier to bruise. I bleed like a stuck pig with the slightest cut. I went from 1/2 to 1/4 and still find rando blood trails.
December 10, 20232 yr As someone who has always had nagging injuries due to sports and cycling, I hate that I'm at the age where I can't tell the difference between serious and trivial. The other day I woke up with a pretty severe pain in my groin. I had not done anything active lately, so my first thought was Lance Armstrong and cancer. Five days later, it's completely gone. Nothing. At 20, I wouldn't have given it a second thought.

Fuck going to the doctor.
December 16, 20232 yr Had my first colonoscopy (and first time under any form of anesthesia) yesterday. This getting old stuff sucks. Good news is I did some blood test for it a couple months ago and failed it so was super freaked out. Turns out I don’t have the cancer but there were a couple polyps they removed and I get to do it all again next year. Yea! Turns out everyone is right though, I am full of shit. Morning before I weighed 205, day of 195.

December 22, 20232 yr I’ve got a readers glasses story that involves hookers and blow. I’ll write it up later.
December 22, 20232 yr Do they have yoga comedy classes were everyone is so bad at it everyone laughs? That’s the yoga class I’d have to start with. Everything is tight, and that’s not always a good thing.

I struggle to read ingredients, instructions, labels now. going to optometrist in just a bit Readers started for me almost overnight at 41. I never wore glasses or contacts. Dr said my vision was still great just time for readers. I’ve since started wearing bifocal contacts. It became highly annoying keeping up with glasses and if I was doing something outside they would constantly slide down my nose.
December 22, 20232 yr Do they have yoga comedy classes were everyone is so bad at it everyone laughs? That’s the yoga class I’d have to start with. Everything is tight, and that’s not always a good thing.I do the p90x III version at home. No one sees.Speaking of flexibility and joints, got an xray on my shoulder today because it ain’t been right for a long time. This is what they sent me in the results portal. I’m sure I’ll hear from the doc soon, but in the meantime any of you slappys know what this means?Advanced degenerative changes of the glenohumeral joint with near complete loss of the joint space and bulky osteophyte formation. Asymmetric loss of posterior glenoid bone stock with at least mild glenoid retroversion and posterior decentering of the humeral head. Mild degenerative changes of the acromioclavicular joint. Maintained acromiohumeral interval on the scapular Y lateral view. Normal osseous mineralization. No suspicious osseous lesions. No acute fracture.

December 23, 20232 yr I’m 43. Made it to 39 mostly healthy. Almost never got sick. Got the Vid in 2020 and now every freaking time someone in the house gets sick I’m getting it three fold. Thanks China!

December 23, 20232 yr Ok, I'k asking this because I'm old and it happened. If you don't know what this condition is I suggest you don't look it up because it was unnerving.

If you don't know what this condition is I suggest you don't look it up because it was unnerving, though I might have a future in vampire porn. But if you experienced it you know what it is. Has anyone ever experienced hematospermia? I looked it up on the internet and there could be 100 things that caused it but it's so unnerving I'm having trouble forgetting it. And I can't get into my regular doctor until after the New Year. I'm just hoping someone can say "yeah it happened to me and I got over it. No big deal".
December 23, 20232 yr I have found it harder to focus on things written on really small objects like coins and whatnot. Trying to read the date on a coin now requires plenty of light or using my phone to zoom in to see it.

I had that once after a minimally invasive procedure for enlarged prostrate. Creepy as fuck. That was a possible expected side effect and only happened once. Isn't there a sex fetish that involves putting sticks down your dick? <hang on, google google google> Ah, yes, the answer to your problem is you should stop Sounding.
December 23, 20232 yr One of the worst parts for me of getting old is I can't do more than 1 or 2 drinks anymore. If I drink more than a token glass, it's like it ages me 10 years overnight. I feel sore, creaky, and well, old. My adult boys are back for the holiday and enjoying a large quantity of beverages. I just can't do that game anymore. 40 year-old me would have enjoyed pulling out the old expensive scotch, dropping some odd-ball cocktail, or doing Jagermeister shots at 2AM, but those days are gone. Enjoy the booze while you can.

Yeah, I had the same thing happen after a biopsy and it is very creepy. But it's never happened on it's own. I guess I need to tell my wife we need to bang a few more times to see if occurs again. Doctors orders of course.
December 23, 20232 yr Put eggs on to boil for deviled eggs to have on Monday... 30 minutes later I remember them... GDit!

Had it happen out of the blue 5-6 years ago. I had done a little bit of cycling, but not nearly as much as I had in the past. Freaked me the f out. I was really freaked out until I saw my urologist. No big deal at all. Just cycle a lot through the pipes. Like several times a day. Doctor’s orders. Cleared right up.

December 24, 20232 yr Had to use it a while back when I forgot my glasses, wife wasn’t around to read the receipt from a restaurant, couldn’t make out total on my own.
December 24, 20232 yr Spot on my wrist that just wouldn’t heal was smaller than a dime 2 months ago and has grown to silver dollar since then. Dr took one look at it, said skin cancer and to expect a call from the Dermatologist very soon. At least it’s lefty.
December 24, 20232 yr 45, generally good health (slightly overweight but ride my bike ~100mi/mo and other exercise) and heart-related tests have all been fine up to this point. And I rarely get sick. However, I picked up some flu-like viral thing from my wife and kids (negative to COVID so far) that has manifested itself in the past couple of days and it’s kicking my ass. Exhausted, full body aches, bad headaches, little appetite, etc. I used to get these occasionally but they were never this bad. I blame it on age. Edited December 24, 20232 yr by sasquatch69

I got the Rona on the flight back from Scotland 2 weeks ago. Knocked me and Mrs NNM down for about 4 days. Cough, fever, aches, pains, etc. All good now, but I just don’t bounce back as quickly as I used to. Edited December 25, 20232 yr by nnm
