Hey Jim; if you don't have to censor it too much, how about a description of the procedure thus far.

Peter,
The treatment will officially start tomorrow even though I went through the entire process today. It's just like getting x-rays taken at the dentists office except for the fact that you're doing it without any clothes on and you're bare naked lying in a coffin-like molded plastic piece of half-rounded PVC pipe and they aren't aiming anything at your mouth.
Oh, yeh, FYI, they still haven't improved on the hospital gowns. Since the time of Adam and Eve they've been stuck on the same style. They're still short on zippers, buttons, or velcro and long on drafts.
So, it's not painful or invasive only humiliating, embarrassing, and drafty. I take that back, it is invasive. Think a colonoscopy a day that they don't put you out for. It's a good thing that I have a high tolerance for embarrassment. Here's something that you can get your mind around. There's a donut (white frosting) looking thing that swirls around you and it's shooting protons into targeted areas of the affected area. Clothes off to clothes on? About 15-20 minutes which leaves about 23 hours 40-45 minutes to actually shop for donuts. Come to think of this you'd probably like this.
I guess with some guys there's a minor incontinence problem. In fact, someone that had the treatment put together a flyer that lists all the public bathrooms within a 5 mile radius of the hospital. Anyway, you asked. Be careful what you ask for.

so is it a crispy cream, dunkin, or a donut that has been sitting under Peters car seat for the last 6 month type of thing. :)
and i recommend the mens depends if it becomes an issue. they seem to absorb more water and draw it away from the body better than the generic brand. you can get good deals at CVS is you have their extra care card.
Is it sad that i know this ?

Sounds just like a regular hospital stay. Go figure, you can go to a airport and they have no problem seeing through clothes.

hmmmm, come to mention it--Peter has a very good point! Why DO THEY need you to be nekkid, anyway? I bet they just wanna peek at your buns.
