Listen, I am still having trouble deciphering lettering for procedures http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-undecided.gif 

Wanted to post just now when I found out someone (Steve) is having a TWOC today?

Had to look it up on "Google" and ahhh bisto! http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-undecided.gif

So could some experienced chappie or nurse! please give us an abbreviation thread, as I am sure I am not the only one having difficulty with the different procedures available. Thanks. Sid.

P.S. Perhaps you could call it " The Jimmy Young Thread " ...  BFN.....   http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-undecided.gif

There was a post on the old site which listed several, indeed dozens of "Abbs".

Hopefully someone with greater technical knowledge than I can locate and duplicate/replicate it here for you and others?

However, in the meantime, I offer

TWOC = Trial With Out Catheter.

PULAH = Peeing Uncontrollably Like A Horse, normally experienced after TWOC commences.

TSHHTF The Excrement Has Hit The Fan.

PMSL = Pist Myself Laughing, or if you are recently TWOC then may be

PMAATTWCWTF = Pist Myself Anyway All The Time Without Control What The Duck.*

LOL = apparently originally meant Little Old Lady, now generally accepted as "Laughs Out Loud" or "Lots of Love"

IMHO = In My Humble Opinion

IME = In My Experience

t*** = Berk of the highest order.

HTH ( Hope This Helps)

Others may, hopefully, offer others for your education?

Dave

* Okay, I made this one up in a fit of indulgence.

Dave! what a star you are!

I have just gone down the list to my wife and it has left her in a fit of giggles,....

I think we should wait for some more to come in and then add a new thread called

THE JY PROG BFN

What do you say? good for a laugh if nothing else.

Thank you for indulging!

Sid.
