Well it is December and this is New England. But, the weather cooperated this morning for my commute to Northeast Urological in N. Andover. Traffic was also cooperative. I made it to the office parking lot a half hour early.
Check in was uneventful. I provided a urine specimen and returned to the waiting room expecting to wait for my appointment, seeing I was more than a half hour early. I had just sat down when I heard my name called. After my grilling to verify my identity, I was walked down to yet another examination room I haven't been in. After three years worth of appointments, I thought I had seen all the real estate. This place is vacuous.
After doing the regular check to see if anything had changed and signing off on the consent form, I was directed to prepare myself for my BCG instillation.
Not too long transpired and Nurse Practitioner, Torri arrived. She went through her spiel and made some small talk while she performed an effective instillation with minimal discomfort. I've had her before. She is really good at this. Upon completion, she gave me the follow up spiel and bid me a good day. "I'll see you next week", I exclaimed as she left the room.
Returning to my car, I noticed it wasn't even 11 AM, yet. The drive home was uneventful and I made it home by 11:15 AM. I had prepared for my marination and listened to some locally grown music for two hours. At the sound of the last timer bell, I voided and immediately took some generic pyridium and made some hot cocoa.
At this writing, I just feel blah (expected). I'm trying to drink plenty of fluids to flush my body. So it's going to be a do nothing-type day.
More to come!
