No, not that kind. The medical kind. I went for my physical today. Since I'm with Kaiser, I never keep a doctor for very long. They always move on. I met my current doctor just a few months ago when I had that little wart. That's when he told me to come in for my physical around my birthday. Before meeting with my doctor the nurse took my vitals, weighed me (their scale is SO off), measured my height, and to my surprise, hooked me up to an EKG machine. I hadn't had an EKG before. I was a little nervous but it was fine. Then she showed me to his office.

After the hellos, he asked me some family questions, medical history, etc. Then he asked me if I was single. I said yes. He then asked if I had a girlfriend. Without even hesitating I said, no, I'm gay. And he, without skipping a beat, asks if I have a partner. I say no. I thought that was very cool of him. You never know how doctors will react. This one reacted well.

Then we go to the examining room and I strip down to my boxer briefs and he starts doing all his things. Touching here, listening there. Then he tells me to lay down and pull the boxer briefs down. He asks if it's okay to check the testicles and I say sure. Now here's one thing to remember when you are having a physical. Don't shave or trim your balls a few days before a doctor will be rolling them between his fingers. He didn't say anything but I did notice a look on his face. Besides his hands being a little chilly, the exam went fine. No testicular cancer. I was wondering when he might tell me to get on my knees for the finger. I didn't have to worry long. He said no prostate exam until I'm 50. Yeah! Even though I'm not a bottom, I wouldn't have minded the finger for medical reasons. He tells me to get dressed and I do. Then he asks when I last had a tetanus shot. I have no idea and can't tell him. So he says I have to have one. He says the nurse will be in to give me the shot. A few minutes later I'm getting jabbed by a sharp needle. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it might. The nurse said it will hurt more in the morning. Then I returned to his office to hear about my test results.

Turns out I am completely healthy. All my test results came back normal. My cholesterol is 178. However, my HDL is a little low and my LDL is a little high. Nothing to be concerned with though. My doctor said to keep exercising. My glucose was normal. My liver function was normal. The EKG was normal as well. Everything is in the normal range. And I'm HIV negative. So everything is good. . . for another 5 years.
