Pop Quiz: Is this about golf or something else?

13 years 1 month ago #37170 by mmc
Actually, I remembered that the particular golf game that this happened, was right after my very first cysto. The doc saw the red spot. He said we need to schedule a TURBT. I was scheduled to go on a business trip the next day to the Philippines for two weeks. Was pretty sure, based on some initial research (and the fact that my uro said "most likely is cancer". Mentioned it to one of the guys I was golfing with (from Germany) who then told me his dad died of bladder cancer. That just may have led to having a few more beers than I should have that day.

I did have a blast though! :D
...and so far, I haven't died from it.

It was pretty dang funny! There is a video in my head and not making any copies. LOL.

Just imagine a grown man taking a swing and continuing to spin around two times or so and not getting the club within about a foot of the ball. OK, maybe it was more than a six pack. The umbrella girls just kept going and getting us more beer.

Mike about the golf game in the Philippines? Can you get a video of it I would like to sell tickets on the forum as fund raiser. I imagine a few around here would give money to see that one.

Hey hey there!!! After my neo got stretched I can handle 1000cc (1 liter) capacity. Add a condom catheter with a leg bag and I can drink a six pack of beer, play 18 holes and no stopping. Bending down to tie a shoe is all it takes to drain the leg bag and off I go. :D

<not really>

If I drank a six pack of beer and tried to golf it would be even funnier than it already is. Tried it once in the Philippines. :D

Normal is one-two beers and one pit stop midway.

And you call yourself a golfer! A true golfer would have gotten a Ileal Conduit so that they didn't have to stop at all!
