In all seriousness, they called the town supervisor from home to come in and check on me. A few days later, they sent me a certified letter to sign saying that I was not injured and refused medical attention.

I took another fall climbing into my race car hauler a few weeks ago, and bloodied my knee cap. It sucks to get old!

Now, get off my lawn, kid!!!!!

Vreihen... I'm not sure that means you're getting old, more so than you need to see an optometrist..... ... and to your point, I guess we need to see an optometrist when we get old, so maybe you're on to something..!

I'm pulling the plug when I turn 40 (again) so what do I know...

If only it was a vision problem! My knee buckled out from under me as I stepped up, and both times I went crashing to the floor. Combination of old age and weak ticker, which is validation that my doctors were correct in issuing me a handicapped parking permit and telling me to avoid stairs.....

Apparently I can no longer pee on my own, catheter and a bag. The up side is at least I sleep through the night now. Doctor has to do a scope tomorrow to see what's going on now. FARK!!

Been there, done that! I say, FARK!! Seriously, should you have to do the prostate procedure (don't remember what it's called), just be very mindful of your doctor's order. Plenty of rest and pain medication, because you will be sore as FARK. I survived however.

I've taken medication for years, Finasteride, for an enlarged prostate. Helps a lot. No more pee problems.

Poiseuille Jr believes he has unearthed a picture of my first BMW…and is suitably impressed by the floating caps.

I've been taking it for many years and there were some sexual side effects at the beginning. Now there are none. Side effects are documented on the interwebz. Benefits are worth it to me.

I'm very scared of pills, but the time is coming for some kind of fix.
I trust your opinion over that of the generic innernet. Thanks Esteban!

Doctor say the prostate and kidneys are fine it's the bladder that's not emptying and that's uncomfortable as hell. Got me on Flomax right now.

You're welcome Murf, but we're all different, so YMMV.

Won't hurt to try it and see if it works for you.

I think covid would do more than make me look for a bathroom more often, so that's a different ball game! My brother had long-term Lyme; not good.
Seems you can't exercise your way out of covid (like obesity, hi bld pres., diabetes, etc). And covid is highly contagious, unlike them others.
Even Statins can have bad side effects, so I do what I have to in order to not need them.
But I can't figure out how to protect myself, and especially others, from covid satisfactorily without the shot. As you know, I do 'search'!

I'd say check with your doc. There's a digital exam, and a blood test, plus probably more things to look at. Think the blood test is called PSA.

You probably know all of this but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
