Well don't want to boore anyone with my health problems, but thought I would warn anyone
who needs to go through a prostate biopsy and ultrasound.
Me thinking it was similar to the ultrasound I had with my heart attack, where they put jelly
on a disc type thing similar to a transducer and rub all over you.
No way, after a probe goes up the rear passage a local anistecic is injected into the prostate
then this other probe gets shoved up there and poked all around and what feels like electric
shocks and a clicking noise is heard, hard to tell weather it's electric shocks or a staple gun
injecting staples into your innards, anyhow doesn't really hurt as such but is most uncomfortable.
And each one of these shock type things is taking a sample and they get more annoying after
each one, after about a dozen of these zaps I was pretty ready to tell them to forget the whole idea
and get up and get dressed and walk out of there.
I stayed and put up with it as I didn't want the whole proceedure to start over again some time down the road.
Though I might as well just lay there till it was finished.
Think I must have copped about 30 of these shots ( they recon about 12 shots is agerage ) wonder what they had against me.
Anyhow I lived through it and drove home, wearing a pad to catch all the blood oosing from my bowles I needed a piss so went to the toilet,,,,, well holly mother of mercy, I have never in my entire life gone through so much pain, I laid on the bed, after draging myself from the toilet in the fetal position holding onto my stomock and nuts, and fair dimkin I thought the world was ending, for about 5 minutes I laid there in absolute agony which felt like forever, till the pain started to fade.
Eventually the pain faded into a dull ache and I recon through the stress, I had what I thought was another heart attack, just then Val came home and found me lying on the bed in all sorts of pain and was about to call the ambulance. Instead I took a couple of my Nitro glisserine tablets, and after about 10 minutes or so the chest pains started to go away as well, took another tablet and this one eased the pain right off so much I could sit up and start breathing normal ( well normal for me ).
Probably the worst day, pain wise I have ever been through in my life.
I have been shot with a 303.25 and that was nowhere near the pain I went through today.

Anyone needing the treatment, don't let this put you off having it done as it's still better than the alternative.

So you coped it greek style did you frank

If I ever go on an overnight trip with you Jumpy, remind me never to fall asleep!!!! I've seen the duct tape and vasso in your tackle box. Thought it was something you used to rig your bait.

Hope the biopsies come back clear, Frank. May have been less painful to have the bugger removed.

hope its all good frank, keep us posted on the results.

They tried giving me one of those a few years back
I got dressed & walked out after telling off the quack,

Dont think these guys have a brain sometimes X-rays showed stricture & when i saw the dooberlacky thingy i got cranky @ the stupidity that such a test was even ordered without the use of anastetic

I don't trust any of them & I think they're only in it for the money.

Your prostate guy could kill you with a heart attack & to him that would be a complete success, that's the way they think.

I've trained my GP & 2 specialists so now they just ask how I've been going, I say good and they give me some more scripts & off I go.
If they want any more than that then they know they're in for a hard slog.

Dont ewe mean Vet's

Yeah Vets, no one here but one big chicken... Bawk Bawk Bawk.

I'm sure they order all these tests to make money & satisfy their own curiosity, I say to them what happens if the test shows positive, they say well then we'll do XYZ and I say bullshit NO WAY so forget your stinking test & give me some more pills to take. HooRoo.

Of course they do

Had this one plic who had me running around for 6 moths doing test after test cost me around $3 k out of my pocket

New Quack one scan revealed everything in 20 minutes

I dont have time for alot of these quacks & not shy to give them a piece of my mind

Head of gastro @ RPA shits himself when he sees me turns around & walks the other way

Once they get you on their merry-go-round it's very hard to get off.

Well I went from 21 years of age till I turned 60 and never seen a doctor and would not even take a aspro or anything to help relieve pain in all that time.
I had 2 heart attacks at 60 the 2nd one spent 7 days in intensive care ( was clinically dead for a short time ) and 3 days recovery and since then it's been one thing after the other.
Now I'm a regular pill popper .
I feel OK today as all last evening and night I rested in bed.
Pretty sure the tests will be negative, till the next time.

Val was reading some comments left on a forum about the proceedure and it effects everyone differently.
I spoke to a nurseing friend last night and she said I should not have driven myself home from the hospital as many people have bad side effects shortly after the treatment.
Some don't have any trouble and others get admitted straight into hospital for immediate treatment.
Other than the extreme pain I felt after going to the toilet the first time, I got out of things pretty lightly.
Pissing doesn't hurt at all now and there is only slight trace of blood so things are pretty well back to normal.

I dont like anything near my clacker, Frank!!

Stay well mate...

That's only because you dont like giving it back



Frank that's the 1st thing they should've told
They should've asked you how you are getting home
If you replied i'm driving
They'll tell you no & offer to ring a friend or call you a cab
