We went through Hurricane Frances; the eye came right through Brandon. Got a
big oak tree down in the back yard, and some roof damage. The tree turned
out to have a colony of honey bees, and the tree guy won't even give me an
estimate until the bee guy has taken care of them. Lightning fried the TV,
the VCR, the cable modem and the router. Then I had a flat tire this
afternoon.
The doctor's office called with last week's PSA: 0.00.
That put everything in perspective.
Whee! Life is good!

Darned right, the tree, the roof , the TV, they can be replaced, but nothing
can replace that 0.00

Indeed! After that hurricane, I'm hoping everyone puts things in
perspective like you did. Materials can be replaced, but good health
and life can't.
I'm off to my yr. 1/2 PSA checkup today. I've been taking chondroitin
and glucosomine tabs for arthritis pain for months now and am curious
if they've affected my PSA numbers. I'll find out soon enough.

Your post cheered me up. I'm so happy for you with your ultra-low
PSA. And the first paragraph-ROFL-in spite of its horrible content.

Ernie - I was (am) watching the hurricane activity in Brandon as my father
lives there! He has been watching our RRP progress - so I guess we're
even. My husband had his RRP on 8/18 and we're almost two weeks past
catheter removal. He's doing well, and looking forward to a PSA similar
to yours! Congrats!!
