Man, I just heard about it today, Pat, and I had to send my good wishes. It can be very disconcerting when the old plumbing siezes up, the equipment stops functioning on schedule, the libido collapses, and the drooling and periodic lapses into inane incoherency begin.
It gets even worse when your dogs lose respect for you, and pee on your leg.
I just want ya to know that all your old buddies are standing by, sending you their prayers and good wishes to get through this trying time. Remember, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel!
You will soon be past the feelings of devastation you are no doubt suffering now, and moving gracefully into your golden years.
I recommend the frequent viewing of light, yet uplifting material...like videos of the old Star Trek series from the 60's starring you-know-who. This can cheer up just about anyone.
Hang in there, old sport! We're with ya all the way!
