Saw the doc last Friday. He let me have a Rx of Androgel. Two pumps. Saturday I applied it to the inner upper arm, Sunday to the inner thigh. Forgot this morning. I think the inner thigh will be a better place to apply the stuff. You just rub it in like suntan lotion. A bit sticky at first, but once you rub it in real good, it kinds of "goes away". Have to wash the hands pretty good afterward. He cautioned about putting it someplace where somebody could touch me, because some of it will transfer to that other person.
It told him that I wanted to try it to aid in recovery after a ride. He was impressed that I'd ride 50 miles. Always good when the doctor is happy with an exercise routine. I won't have my next real ride until Friday. If the weather cooperates, I'll push it a little bit and see how the recovery goes on Saturday. Want to get in a couple thousand feet of climbing. (He was not happy with how I am controlling my diabetes. Gotta work on that.)
