I recently had a general physical exam with my PCP. She found that my prostate was not normal so she setup an exam by a urologist. I had the exam done today. I was treated respectfully by all of the staff. I was properly gendered throughout the visit. The doctor and I had a good laugh about me being his first female prostate exam.
I could not very well hide my transness from him. After he called a female chaperone into the room, I lifted my skirt when he asked.
He admitted that he did not have much, none really, experience with prostates that had been on nearly zero T for as long as mine has been. He was concerned enough that he recommended that he do a biopsy to be sure there is no cancer. That has been scheduled. Better safe than sorry.
The insurance adjuster came later in the day. He could not include the washer, dryer or freezer in the damages since they are not part of the structure. They are personal property. I do think he was generous, otherwise. He wrote up the ductwork, which was partially submerged, the water heater, an inspection of the AC/heat pump which was close to water level, just to be sure, and (the generous part) replacement of the insulation between the floor joists which "may" have incurred damage. I am sure the floor insulation is fine.
I can begin work while I wait for the check. There is a $2000 deductible but I can do most of the work myself so I am hoping the check covers the bulk of the materials that I really need. My most pressing task is the ductwork. I want to get it done while it is not too hot to be without AC or too cold to be without heat. He said I should see a check in about 3 to 4 weeks.
The washer and dryer replacements are due for delivery in a week. The freezer is already repaired and down to 10 below. I replaced the compressor startup module for about 40 bucks. We will let it run for some time and avoid filling it too much until we are confident in it.
