Sorry couldn't resist some Culture Club humor!
Thoughts are with you my friend. This getting old stuff is certainly over-rated.
As my mother once said;
The only thing golden about the golden years is your pee!!!

Sending everything I can as someone that just lost his FIL to Prostare Cancer. If you got it early you should beat it. He did not and by the time they caught it he had no chance. He fought it til his Daughter was set then basically gave up. I know because he told me. I saw his records he knew he had an issue but he was to busy to take care of his wife that was bed ridden and then when he went itno the doctor is was already in the bone and into the stomach wall.

Dwell on happy thoughts. Getting the procedure done can’t be half as embarrassing as going to school to learn how to do one on somebody. So try and laugh...In the words of wise Solomon “this too shall pass”.
A prayer has been said for your health.






And This Too Shall Pass
One day Solomon decided to humble Benaiah ben Yehoyada, his most trusted minister. He said to him, "Benaiah, there is a certain ring that I want you to bring to me. I wish to wear it for Sukkot which gives you six months to find it."

"If it exists anywhere on earth, your majesty," replied Benaiah, "I will find it and bring it to you, but what makes the ring so special?"

"It has magic powers," answered the king. "If a happy man looks at it, he becomes sad, and if a sad man looks at it, he becomes happy." Solomon knew that no such ring existed in the world, but he wished to give his minister a little taste of humility.

ize: 12pt">Spring passed and then summer, and still Benaiah had no idea where he could find the ring. On the night before Sukkot, he decided to take a walk in one of the poorest quarters of Jerusalem. He passed by a merchant who had begun to set out the day's wares on a shabby carpet. "Have you by any chance heard of a magic ring that makes the happy wearer forget his joy and the broken-hearted wearer forget his sorrows?" asked Benaiah.

He watched the grandfather take a plain gold ring from his carpet and engrave something on it. When Benaiah read the words on the ring, his face broke out in a wide smile.

That night the entire city welcomed in the holiday of Sukkot with great festivity. "Well, my friend," said Solomon, "have you found what I sent you after?" All the ministers laughed and Solomon himself smiled.

To everyone's surprise, Benaiah held up a small gold ring and declared, "Here it is, your majesty!" As soon as Solomon read the inscription, the smile vanished from his face. The jeweler had written three Hebrew letters on the gold band: _gimel, zayin, yud_, which began the words "_Gam zeh ya'avor_" -- "This too shall pass."

At that moment Solomon realized that all his wisdom and fabulous wealth and tremendous power were but fleeting things, for one day he would be nothing but dust.

All this to say…Whatever bad thing is here now, it is not forever, and whatever good thing is for now, it will someday end. Let us remember there is a God in Heaven. Whether we are happy or sad, let us look up to him in whose hand resides our fate.

I just had my first prostate exam a couple weeks ago
While it was uncomfortable, it wasnt as bad as lots of people say it is.
Now I know what Joe's doing is alot more intensive than a latex clad finger up the rear, but heres to hoping everything works out for the best :)
In the words of Chubbs the golf instructor from Happy Gilmore.... "Go to your happy place"
Which I'm guessing for Joe is a circular room (probably padded) with a 360 degree circular fish tank around the outside filled with all his favorite corals and fish, and everyone is getting along, none of the fish are nipping at the corals none of the equipment is malfunctioning and no water is making it to the floor.

Thanks for all the support people; it seems that after I woke up from the prostate biopsy my heart went into arterial fibrillation (Rapid crazy rhythm). I was sent for some blood work, it came back negative for thyroid problems which could have been a cause. Also neg for a heart attack. I also had an echo cardiogram. Also neg. I was put on a Bata blocker to slow my heart down and an aspirin a day to thin my blood. The cardiologist preformed an EKG and my heart rhythm was back to normal. I am going to have a nuclear stress test next week. The week after that he wants me to wear an event monitor for a month to see if we can track down what triggers the Afib
FYI arterial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm problem one can have, so I am not that special
