Blood, Sweat and Tears?

A day after seeing my GP for referral to a specialist, I was due to provide another semen specimen and have blood taken for analysis.

SWEAT: So I duly knocked one off, bombed down the cytopathology unit at the local hospital on my bicycle (and I wonder why I have no sperm, all those years spent sat in a saddle can't be doing the ol' goolies any good...!)

BLOOD: I headed to the GP surgery immediately after (again on my bike, probably not the best idea on a warm, sunny morning) for the nurse to take blood samples. Now, I've had bloods taken many times in my time, but I swear the nurse took a dozen tubes of my blood. I hope it's worth it. (Random thought: have you noticed how these days they say "You may feel a scratch" when they insert a needle - I'm old enough to remember when they used to say "You may feel a sharp prick"! Guffaw, chuckle, chuckle ;o) )

TEARS: I haven't had any since I had my initial semen analysis. But I expect there'll be more.
