I got a call from Dr. Lee today which was pretty surprising. I wasn’t even going to try for an appointment until next week reasoning that the lab results wouldn’t be immediately available. Anyway, she told me she had an opening so I should try to schedule it if possible. Now, I’m seen on a space available basis so it was a roll of the dice. Called at noon as required and sure enough I scored the coveted appointment with the lovely Dr. Lee.

I was so happy I even tried to smile instead of my normal grimace. Alas, now my eyes are all weird. I guess I’m just not a selfie kind of guy.

Well anyway, Dr. Lee comes in and tells me she was glad I was able to see her as she didn’t want to give me the CT results over the phone. WTF! I’m thinking oh shit, now what. Then she tells me they found a cyst inside my left kidney. What do I do now, doc? I asked. She said, oh it is very small and really nothing to worry about. WTF! You could have told me that over the phone! Oh well, it is what it is. We talked about the importance of keeping my blood pressure down and set some goals in that regard. I’m monitoring twice a day now and it is generally lower (mid 130s) with my target being low 120s.

I guess I’ll live.

In the realm of politics, I was reminded today by Facebook that I’ve been a strong proponent of gun control since at least the early 1970s. Surprised?

See how balanced and in control I am as I aim and fire my rifle? And my pistol is also firmly holstered and under control. We need more of that in America, don’t you think?

And finally, the other night in one of the sorry bars I frequent I was surprised to see some young Korean women sitting at the bar. Honestly, that almost never happens. Anyway, I was toying with the idea of buying them a round and asked the bartender what they were drinking. She told me they were having a wet pussy. Yeah, I’d seen that on the menu above the bar (along with blow jobs, sex on the beach, etc) but didn’t think it was an actual drink. Not knowing what was in such a drink I asked one of the young ladies if I could have a taste of her wet pussy. Then all hell broke loose.

Okay, true story except the last part. I THOUGHT of asking that question then immediately thought better of it. It might have been funny. Or she might have said yes. But either way it likely would not have ended well for me.
