bashful

Years ago, power went out in our neighborhood for a few days. Our building has a back up generator to light public spaces, but it was out in all our apartments. Turned out, the outlets in the lobby had power. Met and learned a lot about several of the neighbors as we all sat and talked waiting for our phones to charge.

I paid that before COVID. (HE MT incl.)

I've thought of hitting on some guys at the grocery store, but haven't because I don't trust my gaydar.

Might even be walkable to/from the Norwood Park Metra (train) stop for non-car folks. Road that rail for a few years. It’s out of Ogilvie.

Niko also goes by Martin Rogers on Twitter and Instagram.

Had one posing as Tyler Valenzia (a fitness influencer military guy), and I began to engage with him. He quickly wanted me to send pics, and us to go to some meeting app thing. Began to realize wasn't him, so I cut out of it. Another posing as Dante Colle contacted me. I got a message Beau Butler was following me, but I think that's legit as nothing further from him. I think they may have been via instagram vs. twitter.

Quest did the test. Paid with credit card online.

I have an appointment with my PCP in a couple weeks to discuss current test, (total vs. free), and get any insight on what I should look for in a provider (Urologist, or Endocrinologist) going forward, and whether to get re-tested. And, since I had already decided to change Urologists for my yearly bladder cancer follow ups, I made an appointment with a new Urologist at another hospital group for October (the earliest available date for him). He was about to only one who listed most my conditions (Low T, and BPH), It didn't actually list bladder cancer, but it was first time I saw a doctor list "Genitourinary Survivorship" (I had to google it). If my PCP says he can treat Low T, I don't have a problem with that, but I will still be moving on to another Urologist, and I want to keep PCP in loop, and see if he has any other recommendations. Regarding the Synthroid, PCP started me on that when my TSH levels began trending higher than normal about two years ago, and I had no energy, and my depression was worsening (thought meds pooped out). I do remember at that time, one of the doctors refer to it as subclinical hypothyroidism, but somehow in the follow up info, and notes, it's being termed as acquired hypothyroidism. Never thought there was a distinction, but I felt better after I went on it, but the low energy is back, that made physical therapy after surgery became more and more difficult, and I've gained weight, and mood's not so great.
