Checking the oil

Today I had a physical, my first one in over 5 years.  I really have a dislike of going to the doctor and have been lucky that I have a healthy history that hasn’t required me to visit doctors on a regular basis.  Well the harsh reality is at 45 years old you NEED to get checked out now and then as a preventative measure.

The worst part of this for men that are approaching or past their 40th birthday is the adding of a DRE (digital rectal exam) to the physical.  When I was younger I thought a “turn your head and cough” hernia check was bad enough.  A DRE is the ultimate in male humiliation.

This was my second time enduring the procedure.  If there is a small consolation, this time around it was not as painful as my initial foray into ass play.  I just kept reminding myself that this guy does this same thing countless times, it’s like me sending an email.  The probing was done in less than 10 seconds, thankfully.

In a couple weeks I will hear the results of the blood work.  I am hoping I can wait another 5 years until having to submit to the humiliation once again.

Today is the one year anniversary of when I announced my marital separation on the blog.  I can not a believe 365 days have raced by already…
