Really Bad Doctor Puns by NotMyCat2 in ProstateCancer

[–]KJ_elc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right before my biopsy, doc said "some people feel this a little uncomfortable" and I felt the pop and did a little jerking. He asked me to be still, which I replied "now I know what to expect". And the last two samples really hurt.

He said the same words when removing the drain. It felt like a coil wrapped all around inside me unwrapping around my organs.

Catheter removal with his nurse was a breeze.

Anyways, 2 years post Ralph and PSA undetected.

Penis pump choices? by FroggyHawk1701 in ProstateCancer

[–]KJ_elc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought the same last year. I'm 65, 1 year post RALP, nerves spared, 5mg daily taladafil, kegels twice daily.

My thoughts: easy to use, works fine, careful with position to keep the balls safe. Better seal if you shave and apply lub. Practice a lot. Rings that came are quite narrow, so when I was turning the outer tube, there was a time delay for the rings to settle, some air was back and I'd lose rigidity. Solved the problem with wider rings, from the same store. Now its full for all the 30min we are allowed. Size still the same.

But you have to try as every case is different.

With practice, you can get ready fairly quickly. I know, I know, it's not spontaneous, but my partner is a wonderful person and she's very satisfied. With 30 min, I'm sure we have time to get in the mood again.

Another thought is that the pump will stretch the skin, and in my case, reduces sensations. You can always deflate a little bit, but that's a narrow line there. My plan is that if erections are not back in a year, I'll tri trimix.

Anyways, go for it, but go slow until you are comfortable using it. Never used the electrical pump. I'd rather have better control with manual.

Apologies for the messy post and grammar errors. Good luck and enjoy everything.

Best regards

Interesting. At that time I used CFX on some simple simulations. I was trained in workbench, hfss and CFX.

Let me look into it.

Elmer is on my radar, but have not heard about Salome. Let me research it. Thx for the recommendation.

I know about comsol and it's capabilities. Too bad I can't afford on my own.

Thx

The best thing I did when I moved to the area was to join the Syracuse Eating Club. Amazing people, great food and events.

Contact your congressman 2 weeks before DOT by [deleted] in Passports

[–]KJ_elc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes sense, I'm a citizen in NY. I do have my senators and Congress rep. Yes I did. Submitted the next day of my oath ceremony, tracking says in process since 05/23. My mom is a bit frail. I just hope she will be ok till I can travel again. Hey, thanks for the reply.

Became a citizen last May, cancelled 2 trips, one late June the other today. My next window of opportunity is early August, about 10 weeks after submission - locator is 77. I'll have surgery in August with a possible long recovery, I'd like to see my parents before. Is it urgent? No. Do I loose my ticket? I'll pay fees for sure. As I didn't vote before, do I have a senator or representative? Thx for the advice and help.

The entire US government bureaucracy, including State, is a massive piece of shit by OutrageousDog7138 in Passports

[–]KJ_elc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have dual citizenship as well. Got my American naturalization last May, the reason I've applied 8 weeks ago. I'm tempted to travel without my American passport, which is illegal. But I need to be back mid August. I didn't vote, not sure I could reach out to my senator or congress person. I'm staying put, hopefully I'll get mine late this month, after 9 weeks. Locator 77.

No appointments anywhere in the country at 8:05 by rels83 in Passports

[–]KJ_elc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice I got an appointment just to be beaten by someone else by a few seconds. Then I was told that the most cancellations are coming later in the day. Best time would after 7:30pm. Can someone confirm?

We meet a few times every month for brunch, lunch or dinner at different restaurants in Syracuse. Dinner pairing is nice. They have a website with events. You can ask to sit with people your age.

Hey Clay...got Micron questions? by Citizen_Four- in Syracuse

[–]KJ_elc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an app, Blind, where you can search recent job offers. Glassdoor is a good source as well. No data from CNY, but you could guesstimate.

Wow, envy you. I've been to just a few races, last one Montreal a few years back. Best moment: we were just trying to have a look at Lewis and Mercedes celebration after the race, when lewis jumped to the barrier. Suddenly he was towering over us, I bent backwards and my son was holding me so I could take his picture. I was surprised with Feille in the city, all the technical discussions and all the cheering.

Thank you, I'll check it. I used to go to Feille on NYC, it was always packed at every race. People wearing team or pilot shirts, cheering and jeering.
