I worry about this little (generally curable) prostate cancer like I'm ready for my last rites, then I see several of my friends with pig valves, stents, and built-in defibrillator/tracking devices and all the work done on their hearts and think to myself when they finish all the "tests" and treatments coming I don't know how close to death my friends were with their heart issues, while my doctors think this is gonna be a breeze for me. My fellow School Board retiree friend just had his device checked & rechecked the other day, then his heart doctor visit, no issues, so he's good. Glad the old tires are still holding air, Mr. Golddollar! (BTW, I was 3 years old when Maz hit that home run!) I'm happy to see all the guys with heart issues back to normal. Modern medicine is pretty remarkable! Everyone I know who's had these heart rebuilds said they would've been dead 30 years ago; or less than that. One nice thing about where I live is the great health care/research centers all at our fingertips.
