Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: MikeL2 Date: 08 Nov 12 - 02:27 PM Hi Dan So glad about the good news re the big C. I know how you are feeling because I am currently going down the same road as you. I had a prostate surgical operation about 20 years ago. The prostate was benign. They told me then that the thing would grow again slowly - about 2% pa. Last week I had some blood tests for other reasons and my doc called me in and told me that my PSA count was high. The doc gave me "the golden finger" and said he thought I should see a urologist " just to be on the safe side. I was sent that week ( by the NHS !!!) to see a urologist and I was examined and they confirmed the gland was swollen again. I am going on Wednesday next week to have a biopsy to confirm that it is again benign. The urologist a young woman, gave me the full works !! She told me that at my age (77) most men have prostate cancer of some degree. They will give me options on finding the result of the biopsy. So it's crossed fingers time again. Regards Mike |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: gnu Date: 08 Nov 12 - 02:52 PM Mike... as long as it's YOUR fingers that are crossed. Yes, I know and, yes, I feel bad about it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: gnu Date: 08 Nov 12 - 07:55 PM Kendall... did I ever tell ya about one of the nurses I went out with? Shoulda married that lass. She knew more about twisting anatomy than I... nevermind. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: Bobert Date: 08 Nov 12 - 08:08 PM Water is good, Ol-ster... Beer is 90% water, right??? Here's what ya' do... Go get a case of Natural Light beer... Yeah, seein' as it is "natural" you might have to get it at a health food store... But get a couple cases, drenk lots of it, put yer feet up on the coffee table and watch "Roller Derby" or "I Love Lucy" reruns and... ...all will be well in Ol'serburg... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: Rapparee Date: 08 Nov 12 - 11:11 PM Knew of a fella who twisted his anatomy. Got it caught in the crank of a Model T. He got himself hired in a saloon just to pull the corks outa wine bottle. For a quarter he'd let you watch. Then Prohibition hit and he was out of a job for nearly a week and then the speaks opened and he made more money than ever before. Poor guy -- when Prohibition ended he started (legal) work at the Griesedieck Brewery, thinking the name was a tribute to hie unique skill, and was demonstrating such one day on the bung of a keg of not-quite-ready beer. The bung blew out and blew him into a huge tub of mash. He crawled out and went to the bathroom six times before he drowned == his co-workers kept trying to rescue him but he managed to avoid it. The brewery workers wanted to dump the vat into the Mississippi River but management said there was too much money tied up to do that, so they just hauled him out and bottled the beer. Folks said that batch had a lot of body to it, but Griesedieck beer isn't made any more. |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: MikeL2 Date: 09 Nov 12 - 04:53 AM Hi Many thanks to the kind people for the kind thoughts and comments regarding my imminent visit to hospital. I will report back on the results as soon as I get them. Regards MikeL2 |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: Stringsinger Date: 09 Nov 12 - 08:41 AM Dan, I'm so glad you are doing better. It seems you are getting good medical advice. Stay away from beer. It's impure water. My doctor told me to heal by playing the guitar. It takes the mind off pain. You can write some interesting songs about what you've gone through. An old friend, Butch Hawes wrote "The Arthritis Blues". As Lee Hays said about the political situation one time, "This too shall pass. I know, I've had gall stones." |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: Rapparee Date: 09 Nov 12 - 11:45 AM What is this, the day all Michaels have to go to the horsespittle? I gotta get an MRI. You other guys stay good, ya hear? |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: MikeL2 Date: 09 Nov 12 - 02:10 PM Hi Rapparee <" What is this, the day all Michaels have to go to the horsespittle? I gotta get an MRI."> And you stay good my friend. Regards MikeL2 |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: gnu Date: 09 Nov 12 - 03:57 PM Ditto Mike... Rap???? Tell me you are buting an MRI to open a clinic or something... please. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: ChanteyLass Date: 09 Nov 12 - 06:48 PM hey, Rap, I hope the MRI shows that whatever is wrong is easily fixed. |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: Rapparee Date: 09 Nov 12 - 06:51 PM The inside of my right knee has been giving me more and more pain for the past few weeks. Got a shot in it last week, went to the doctor again this week; he ordered an MRI because he can't see through my skin (and he calls himself a doctor!). I went to the doc first because I noticed I was walking with my right foot nearly 90 degrees to my left -- and I'm using a Leki walking stick as a cane. I kinda sorta suspect that I may have torn the meniscus again (I did it to that knee before, in 2001) somehow. Anyway, I'm flying East on Monday come hell or high water. To Chicago. It's time to put down the Chonga menace once and for all. |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: olddude Date: 09 Nov 12 - 08:09 PM Hey Rap do what I do before they scope me every couple of years. Once I covered my arse with blue glitter, one time I had a Mr. Yuck sticker on it, or a radiation symbol ... one sticky note read to my doc buddy, if you find any money in there, its mine |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: GUEST,999 Date: 09 Nov 12 - 08:30 PM "And I have to get a colonoscopy in January! Boy oh boy, my days are filled with fun and laughter!" Just mention al-Queda at any airport and you'll get one for free. |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: gnu Date: 09 Nov 12 - 08:36 PM Re Dan's suggestion, "Goin MY way, sailor?" would be inappropriate Rap. Unless, well, not that there's anything wrong with that, of cousre. To reach his own, eh? Yes, totally Freudian slipup. I heard Freud has a big rebate sale on. Up to $10,000 in rebates on selected models. |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts for OldDude From: GUEST,MikeL2 Date: 21 Nov 12 - 03:02 PM hi Dan & others I hope you are getting over your problem without any problems. I promised that I would reply when I had had my biopsies on my swollen prostate. Well I had a scan and the biopsies were taken last Wednesday and afterwards the consultant said he took "several pieces." He said that he couldn't say what the procedure would produce and I will have to wait for a few days for the test results to get back. I have to ring the hospital if I haven't heard by the week-end. Only today they have called me in to go to have the cataract removed from my left eye next week - Friday. You may remember that on another thread I told about going for the op and my blood pressure rocketed so high that they wouldn't do it. Since then I have suffered from this raising of the pressure each time I go to the doctors or hospital. They call it White Coat Syndrome.They didn't need to check the pressure to perform the biopsy so I don't know if it was high or not. The eye surgeon has prescribed some kind of relaxant to take prior to the operation so I have all my digits crossed.....Gnu !!!! Cheers Mike |
