Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!

I didn’t know until a couple of years ago what that was or when it was. I’ve led a sheltered life.

Sometime in mid-April I quit taking the medication for incontinence. Thank God. I think it was April 12^th. The urologist will be blown away with this news. I just felt like I didn’t need to take it anymore. I have been fine ever since.

Like I said before, the pads are like a security blanket. I don’t REALLY need them. But, I will continue to use them until I feel like I can do without them safely.

I go to see Dr. Kaz next week. I had a PSA test last month and will get the results from that test next week. I imagine he would’ve called if it were 0.2 or higher.

This visit he said he would like to work on erections. I hate to tell him that I’m happy just the way I am. But, I don’t think he’s going to believe that. We’ll see. If we do start working on that I don’t think I’ll post that on the web site… unless it’s something that belongs under the Too Much Information section.

I have started to get Arthritis in my thumbs. It’s irritating. I thought it might be a symptom of the Lupron. But, it’s not. http://www.lupron-side-effects.com/

I weigh almost 210 lbs now. It’s the most I’ve ever weighed. It is mainly from dealing with my mother and grandmother’s death. I have been eating more with my father and not following my usual eating habits. But, I’m working on that now. I’ve bought a Jack La Lanne juicer and am juicing carrots and apples. I love the juicer. And, I kinda like carrot juice. It’s an odd flavor but, still good.

I go in for a physical today with a new doctor. I’ll let her know about the arthritis and get her opinion. No more DRE!!! No more Turn Your Head and Cough. How nice!!!

I hesitate in saying this because people may want to quiz me on what I really mean but, I have to say that I’ve been really blessed this last year. God has been really good to me.
