Hey guys, I know this is probably the wrong place to post this but since this is where I usually go and post when I do, here it is.
I just wanted to encourage you guys to have your PSA score checked yearly. I had a yearly physical in August of 2020 and my PSA score came back high. Had it rechecked a month later and it was even higher. So to make a long story short I had my prostate removed Jan. 26th. Fortunately the Dr. said it looked like since we caught it early that it was confined to the prostate and they got it all.
Five days since surgery and I am feeling well just sore. Only stayed 1 night in the hospital fortunately and have a great wife to take care of me at home.
So guys if you haven't been checked lately, get er done!!!! I have alot more camping to do yet!!!Don't want to be slowed down by the big C.

Blood work done every 6 months or sooner. And PSA yearly. Don’t want any unknown conditions occurring without being aware of it and being able to address it early. Do everything I can to keep on trucking. And see the grandkids grow up. And maybe some greats some day.

Glad they caught it early and the surgery went well. By the time this virus is tamped down you should have recovered enough to get out and camp.
