So I'm sitting in the damn doctor's office for my annual physical. The usual shit when the head physician is a nigga......always behind schedule, waiting room packed, Jet Magazine and Black Enterprise.....you know. Anyway, after arriving on time, waiting 20 minutes just to give the bitch my insurance card, and another 25 minutes doing the crossword puzzle from the morning's paper, the nurse called my name to come in the back. Of course, this means I'm gonna go in a room and wait for another half hour. Typical nigga doctor shit. But I never trip over the shit. I just plan my day around it, FOR THIS SITUATION ONLY. Carl and I went to undergrad together, and that nigga has been my physician most of my adult life. The minute he finished med school, and opened his practice, I took my support to him. The muufukka has been on point too. But shit, he's a third generation doctor. Bitch better know his shit. So, after falling asleep in the room for a bit, a nurse comes and takes my vitals and tells me the "the doctor will see you shortly". Bitch comon. This nigga couldn't even get to class on time when he only had a 2pm lecture on Wednesdays. Carl comes in and daps a nigga up. We chat for a while, then I strip and let him do his thing. Our friendship has always been brotherly. No attraction between us whatsoever. Just my nigga.
I explained to Carl that I had been having some discomfort in my abdomen. More like some abnormal tightness. Nigga finished his exam and then checked my abs. After taking longer than I thought he should have, he said that there was some swelling and he felt something he didn't like. Da Fukk????
To fast forward ya'll up to date (and to avoid crying this morning), Carl has referred me to a urologist to do some testing. Pictures of my abs, prostate, balls, shit, everything. They are looking for cancer. The potential good news is that the antibiotics Carl prescribed me have addressed the discomfort, as he hoped, potentially meaning that I just had some kind of infection. Anyway, I go to my photo shoot (LOL). This week.
At one point, a nigga was crying everyday, but it is whatever it is. Nervous as hell, but believing that I got a lot more to do here on this jacked up planet. Will keep ya'll up to date. Pray for a nigga...
