You know what's the first to go ....... and then it's downhill after that -

It looks different, but then, everyday, most things looks different to me -

They do make a little blue pill for that. And it works. Ask me how I know.

Yes they do but it DOES NOT WORK for all men! Not only that, it was very expensive over a decade ago, like $8.00 per pill. I know because it was (and is still) not covered under our Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). I paid a lot of money to learn that it is a “crap shoot” as to who it helps and who it does nothing for.

Welp, a whole bottle of blue pills won't work, if the cancer surgeon has taken away your prostate gland -

How about those colonoscopies?

OK, on the "higher side", my cancer surgeon scoped my bladder yesterday and gave me another ALL CLEAR. -

However, he wants to juice up my bladder once a month for the next year, just to make sure the cancer stays away -

How is your hand doing, Sapphireho?

Hey they’ve been great! I had my first one on January Friday 13, 2006. It was a BReeZe so to speak. Doctor was a long time coming back with the results though. No bedside manner, no polite introductions, he just walked in and announced; “YOU HAVE CANCER!” He then explained it was just a very small dot, so small that he didn’t think it was anything but figured while he was there he’d snip it out and take good sized margin as well just to be safe. Turns out the margins were not clear so good thing he shot dye in that area of the colon so they would easily find it if it turned out to be something. He said as soon as there is a surgeon and an operating room open I would booked in.
Well, I didn’t get in until February 16, 2006. As luck would have it that was the same day the wife had been scheduled for her surgery that she had been waiting for 6 months to have. We went back to back and landed on the same floor. However, she was out before me. In that short period of time Mine went from a stage 0 (too small to calculate) to a Stage 2-3 where it had penetrated the colon wall and was about to or had penetrated other organ tissue. Must have come out alright because we are both still here. (Although there have been a couple of scares along the way.)
Hey, you asked!

Week or so ago, commented about extra cleats & wasn’t sure what to do w it. One of college kiddo who play in one of the team I play, needed new cleats. His cleats had several duck tapes wrapped around. I asked what’s his shoes size & lucky for me it was the size I wanted to sell! So sold em for 1/4 of the price. It’s not like I’m desperately needing the money & I understand poor college life. I’m happy got some money. He’s happy he bought top end cleats for cheap. I think that’s a win-win in my book.

My first one years ago I had a couple polyps. All ok.

A few months ago had my second. No polyps. Dr. Says "good job not having any more polyps.". I thought that was hysterical. I said, "I've been working on that."

Good to hear you are doing better. My older brother has bladder cancer. I think they have been doing that for about 12 years. They tell him it is from smoking.

My hands are both in bad shape. I have the most severe case of dupuytren's that any of the surgeons at the hand center have ever seen. It has taken my ability to do a lot of things I love. And now I get lots of pain. Oh well, you can't pick your DNA.

I’m getting close to the age I need to start getting checked.

Also, tell your son thanks. I ordered a book he recommended to me. I should start cracking into it soon.

I also believe I found the issue with my boosted car. 1psi smoke test showed two leaks on the intercooler piping. Hopefully have that sorted out this week.
