Eric, that age thing really sucks!!!! When I was younger I was extremely proud of the fact that I had 20/16 vision right up until I turned 40. Went from reading glasses to progressive bi-focals in the next ten years. It sucks. Welcome to the club.

tull, now that you mention it I'm backing away from the screen to read this,
backfoot, im glad i lasted this long, my wife goes to the doctor every other week and she begs me to go and i ask her why? nothing hurts, i hav'nt been to the doc in probably 15 years and really probably should at least for a tickle in the back door cause i find myself getting up 2 or 3 times at night for the bathroom

ROFLMAO!!!!!
Oh My God! That's what I'm talkin' about. Last physical was when I turned 40. Doc said I was healthy as a horse. Don't feel any different now then I did then. Probably should get a tickle like you say.

Without going into details, get the physical. I too thought I was healthy as a horse, but at age 37 I decided to get the physical. Needless to say they found some issues. Had I not gone in I would likely have some very serious problems by now. If they don't find anything, even better. At least you have piece of mind for you and your family. BKH

Went to my proctologist and he's behind me, putting on the gloves. As I was taking off my jeans I asked him, Where should I put these?" He replies, " fold them up and put 'em next to mine."

I'm 47 so a couple of years ago I decided after never really going to the doctor for anything that I would start regular physicals.

To make the back door check a little more acceptable I got a lady doctor. Now when I go for the checkup I get to hear a woman tell me to drop my draws. You get fondled and poked and if you close your eyes it's great for the ego, infact last time I went I bought my wife some flowers on the way home cause in a strange way I felt like I was cheating.

Just kidding ofcourse, about the flowers anyway.

Turned 40 myself in May and just got initiated into the "finger wave" club myself about a month ago. I concur as to the importance of the physical. It was over before I knew it and even though it is a "two way" street now I think a male docor would "know" the male anatomy better than a female. I think most wives would agree in that they would rather go to a female "lady Dr." than a male.

While all this makes for good fun, and good fodder, it's not just the prostate we're talking about here guys. In my case it was liver and other issues. In the case of my brother in law, it was undetected diabetes. There are too many guys out there, including me, who did not see a doctor for 15 or 20 years except for a cast or some stitches. I repeat - get the physical. BKH

Alan, you're only getting it once a year?

That's right, Whether I need or not!!!

...if I'd only had as much fun in my 20s-30s as I'm having today waaaaaaay up into my 40's. And I had a blast back when. It just doesn't stop. Thanks guys! Grow old, just not up.

What I hate most is wiping up the KY afterwards. So violated.

The first time I couldn't read what I wanted I was trying to read a fuse block under the dash and the dang seat was in the way couldn't get far enuf away.Like Morfoot its been a steady decline since and have my firsy bifocals now but its good to see.

Listen to the advice of Brian get to your doc every year.They always tell me my blood pressure is a bit high nad I say yep because I know where tour gonna put your finger soon. My BP is always fine at home.

You either get older or dead longer,older is really good in that context.Be getting to big 50 in Feb. I remember when I thought that was antique but now I'm there and don't feel to much different than 30
