I've just managed a three-footer!
What! You may ask?
Well, I'll explain...
Michael Parkinson once said that if you could wee a stream of at least two ft in length from your trousers to the porcelain, then you probably don't have a problem with the prostate issue!
I've had all the tests like many men of my dotage, and so far, touch wood, there's no problem, but while this bloody five hours chemo every few weeks for Mantle Cell Lymphoma is continuing, (at least for the next three months, so roll on Easter), I just get a little bit twitchy about any consequences, so anything which makes the day a bit rosier, is fine by me!
36 inches isn't a bad score, I mean, I have to stand well back to achieve that, and my doctor, (a good friend), once said that after initial tests, he wasn't even going to bother with the telegraph pole interrment, or whatever it's called, and sent me home with a couple of Smarties, which you used to get for a vaccination, back in the fifties...
Half-way through the treatment is such an achievement, and life is in the Spring now, with bulbs showing, plants popping up here and there, and plans are a-foot, so we're well on the mend!

Good to hear you are on the mend, a three-footer is very impressive, I couldn't manage it without some kind of powered attachment.
Keep taking the tablets and ask yourself: what does a urologist put on his census form when asked "what did you do at work today?"
Ha ha ha, AK! There's a great joke on that subject, but it's almost entirely a 'physical' action, so is useless on a meagre blog such as this!
Love it, The J! The tablets are marvellous, but I fear I'll be taken off them soon, which will mean that I lose my position in the Olympic team!
“Touch wood”, Scroblene dixit. Do you have anything to add to that?
Funny you should say that, Tim, bcause I've been doing a little work on the tiles around the loo, and there's a need to fix some decent wood to mask the (badly) cut edges - a technical issue - but if I hit that, well, I'll be a winner!
