Memphis, I'm doing alright. A lot of ups and down, but I'm working 6 days a week and taking care of business so can't complain.
Yea I get really red, dry cheeks too, but no flaking.
As for not being able to pee, that's called urinary retention and we've got a whole thread for it here. IME the best way to deal with it is to sit down to pee, run the faucet, and put a rag soaked in warm water on your dick, and to help even more you can squeeze the rag so some of the warm water runs down your schlong. Taking a shower works too, but this method is for if you can't be bothered with taking a shower each time you get too high to piss.
im right there with you dude. these folks dont believe in giving me days off at all.
