Fine. Keeping the extra mass off, and BP staying under control.

do virtual ones count? had to get a refill for my prostate/ED meds.

7 out of 7 of my uncles have had prostate cancer, so i figure i will get it in the not too distant future.

About 3 or 4 years ago, I read that *if you live long enough* the odds are that you'll end up with prostate cancer. Some ridiculous percentage of men over the age of 85 (like 90%) have prostate cancer.

I had a cousin (my dad's 1st cousin) who got prostate cancer. He lived to be 85; it was the proximate cause of his death. Roger died 9 years ago.

A sure sign that you're with a bunch of old people is that all you talk about is your medical problems.

Not great. Minor operation. Nurse took the anesthesia off early for some reason when the procedure was still ongoing. I'm not proud that I yelled at the nurse, but it hurt like a mofo.
