"prostate" :-).Merry Christmas to all,

Okay guys here's the problem. After all this time just about all the other
problems have subsided except one, erections.  Oh, it's working but only
half way. No joke, it only gets half hard. The bottom half gets rock hard

Three years ago today, I was cut from stem to stern (slight exaggeration)
and my uro mined my belly for prostate (no exaggeration).  Today, I'm off to
work, and will probably put in ten hours.  My daughter got engaged two
nights ago (last one).  My son is about to present me with a ...

   Some of you may remember that on the second night we had Buttercup my
wife tripped over the dog and broke her foot.  This morning my wife fell on
the ice while taking the dog out and broke her ankle (same foot).  Broken in
two spots, and it will require surgery to fix it.  That ...

   Took 150 mg. Viagra to..., well you know.  Anyway, now I know what "blue
haze" is.  Don't like it.  No activity downstairs to boot.  Costly
experiment.  By the way, my uro told me to take 200 mg. to try and get a
