Moving Up

After talking with Junior for 11 days I decided to introduce myself to Mr T. As it turns out Mr T was too rough on me and Junior had to act as a go between. What? You have no idea what I’m talking about? Dilation of course! When I was first given my stent set I immediately named the largest one “Big Max”. Michele later dubbed #1 as “Junior”. The second stent is labeled “2T”. The “T” stands for “tapered” (not transgendered), so I’ve begun calling it “Mr T”. My euphemism for dilating is “talking to Junior”. So, as I was saying, after 11 days using #1 it was pretty much time to try moving up to 2T. As it turned out, I had difficulty getting it in. So, I first inserted Junior for a few minutes and then attempted the switch to Mr T. Success, but painful. Mr T is definitely stretching things more than Junior. Progress.
