   I had to test that on Google translate! Hard emphasis on the “a” apparently.

   One learns something every day. Thanks for the comment.

   And, besides, no plan survives contact with the enemy… I mean bureaucracy…

   John, I read some of that original comic. Your scenario is more plausible.

   I had my prostate removed in 2017. So far, no signs of trouble. (pause to knock on wood). Thanks to all for their kind thoughts.

   Let me tell you guys that getting a PSA test for prostate cancer is a life saver. I got mine because I saw a urologist about kidney stones. The initial reading was high, but successive ones were higher. Eventually, a decision had to be made: Surgery, radiation, or chemo. I was thinking radiation but was told that doing so would put me over the lifetime limit, so no radiation treatment if I got another cancer.

   I opted for surgery, and it was a laproscopic surgery (several small cuts instead of a big one). It was also robot assisted surgery. The lead surgeon uses a robotic arms to do cuts, etc. What told me that this was the way to go was that there was “tremor control”. Which when you think of someone with a very sharp scalpel in your innards, is a very good thing, My cardiologist, when I mentioned the robotic surgery, immediately mentioned the tremor control.

   Well, I survive pretty well without the prostate for nearly 6 years (I’m 74). It saddens me to see guys dying of prostate cancer. So get check-ups, guys!

   And last month, we met with our financial adviser who had been looking poorly the last couple of years. He looked great! He had had trouble with his colon, and was told that it might be pre-cancerous. He did go for more opinions and ended up having it removed in December. So yeah, he was to wear a bag, but he has gotten used to it. He is planning on a safari to Kenya in a few months. Hearing him talk about it and seeing the difference in him told me that a colostomy was not the end of the world, just as losing a prostate was not.

   So let me reciprocate those kind thought to all and suggest you get regular check-ups.

   “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ’my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
