Hello All,

I was taking a stroll around the internet and came across the Canadian
Prostate site:www.prostatecancer.ca. A little deeper and I discovered
this article on AZGP1 (zinc-alpha2-glycoprotein) and a study that
corrilates decreased levels of this protein in the prostate at the time
of prostatectamy and increased chance of mets. (I know, its just a
study) My question is: what is the likelyhood that my prostate was
tested when it came out (a year ago tomorrow, Jan 26)? Can it be tested
today? I am under the assumption that my prostate is currently frozen
somewhere.

Sox,

Didn't they tell you? All of that stuff goes to the Swift meat packing
plant.

Hospitals need to find every source of revenue they can these days.

I strongly suspect your prostate is where all the teeth that are
pulled,
along with my old hip --- properly disposed of according to all known
OSHA/FDA rules concerning bio-hazards.

Disgusting that these days a mother can't even save a child's baby
teeth for a soveneir album. Dentists must "safely" dispose of them
the same way "sharps" are disposed of.

Dear White Sox,

I asked my own doc about this, and he said that most certainly the
hospital keeps those excised tissues. I don't know the details, but I
would count on your ex-prostate being around. Just an educated guess.

Go Cardinals!

My husband and his buddy are going to Florida to watch spring training.
Sounds pretty dang boring to me, but I am dang glad he is going to do
something fun. Just made all the arrangements today.

P.S. You can call yourself whatever you want, W.S., but are you the
real thing? This is from my NY Times crossward puzzle today:

Pittsburgh Hall-of-Fame Third Baseman (10 ltrs)

Want a hint?

Leah,

Thanks for the challenge. I diddn't know who it was so I looked it up.
I've heard of him but never would have guessed. Here's my hint: Don't
desert those who can help you get in shape. :->

Oh, that's priceless : - D. But I definitely didn't ketch it on the
first try. For those who don't know what we're talking about, the
answer to the question I originally posed is Pie Traynor.

And it just so happens that Pie *is* the one who can help you get into
shape. Hear this:

"[Pie] never learned how to drive a car and relied on his feet to take
him wherever he needed to go. In the early 1950s he ate breakfast at a
hotel on 34th Street, then walked more than 100 blocks for a World
Series game. When he got older, he remained in Pittsburgh and had a
radio show for many years. He made the 10-mile round trip from his
home to the station on foot."

Isn't it chilling that you can be named after your favorite dessert?

Yours truly,

Chocolate Mud Cake
