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.

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.

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."

Find a good doctor and get a physical. My brother is 58 and never had a doctor or real physical. He drives truck, so he had what he called a $5 physical each year through work. Earlier this year he went out on workmans comp for the 1st time in over 30 years. He had to get his own doctor and the doctor required a physical. Turns out he was in the beginning stage of prostate cancer. They caught it early and everything is good. Had he not injured himself, he'd never have known until it was too late.

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. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

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. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

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 ------------- Livin' the Dream |

Ok, All kidding aside Brian, you are 100% correct. Seems like 40 years old is a wake up call for men and you need to get in once a year no matter how good you feel. Most men will need a good scare or a good woman to get them in to the doctors. My scare was my wife's health issues and she 9 years younger than me. We spent 2 years and 2 sessions under the knife getting her squared away but she's good as new minus a few spare parts. After that we promised each other we'd get serious about our annual checkups and start exercising on a regular basis. Life is good again and we aim to keep it that way. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Beats the hell out of NOT turning 40. I agree with Reid and Quinner. I'll go a little further and say EVERYTHING gets better with a little hard earned wisdom and a great family. I'm having more real fun as each year goes by. Even taking in consideration the inevitable physical limitations, I'll still take next year over last year. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

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 Munday ------------- If the only tool you have is a hammer,everything starts to look like a nail. |

Men
You guys are only partly there with the prostate test. Go for the whole package and get the colonoscopy, or at least a sigmoidoscopy. It's the best way to check on what's going on up there. I lost my dad to colorectal cancer. The exam is no big deal. The prep is the worst part. Because of my family history, I get one every 5 years. Cheap insurance. Kind of like pumping out the septic tank.  Preventative maintenance.

Doc, I think this question comes from multiple threads, and not from this one (after all my stand here is "get the physical"). You're probably not looking for a history of my life, but I'll try to answer you.
First, I've taken many stands in my life. As a young man I was a very opinionated SOB, and it probably cost me multiple promotions. I'm also very good at winning debates or arguments. Besides being a litigation attorney, I was on national debate teams in college. I am very good at winning an argument from either side of the equation, whether I believe in the point or not. That "skill" has probably cost me friendships, and definitely put a damper on my first marriage. I certainly have opinions, but having grown up in California; being educated at Berkeley; with careers in sales and in the law, I may be more tolerant of other people's opinions than is the norm. I'm sure you might see my tolerance as being "on the fence." Also, somewhere over the course of my 44 years, I learned I was a pretty good mediator, and I enjoyed it a lot more than being a bull-nosed litigator. Somewhere in the course of that transformation my blood presssure dropped over 20 points; I gained a lot more friends; built a much better second marriage; gained the patience to become a father; and found my niche professionally. In short Doc, I'm more than capable of taking a stand. Most times I deliberately choose not to. I try to pick my spots carefully - where it matters, and where it matters most to me. In the end, this is a site devoted to recreational boating. I come here for fun, not for debate. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |
