    I need a huge favor from all of you.

    I don't usually ask for things but.....

    And it does not involve CHOCOLATE!


    Please go for all your annual tests, prostate, mammograms, blood and x-rays.

    Don't hesitate! Don't put them off and don't think any ailment 'will go away' on it's own.

    The next thing is to If you have an idea as to what you want to do with your possessions after you depart the planet-get your things in order.

    It's sounds morbid but it's probably the best for everyone that you know and love.

    -----------

    Medicine is WAY more advanced now that it ever has been -some discomfort now is better than any pain and complications you or your loved ones may encounter later on.

    Do it for yourselves and your loved ones.

    Thanks.

    That's good advice, Richard. Unfortunately, I haven't done what I should, yet. Will try to sort things out soon, though.

    Richard - what prompted this? Are you trying to tell us something, or am I reading between the lines? You just didn't think of this out of the blue - did you?

    And at my age - how I hate being reminded - since it makes me take note of my own mortality!

    Way to go Richard, an excellent post and request. I do hope all is well with you and that nothing serious prompted this.

    When I turned 40 (3 years ago) I went for my first mammogram which was supposed to just be a baseline for future reference. No so, they found a lump. It was as close to being breast cancer as you can get without actually having cancer. If I had waited till 50 for my first mammogram I would have had full blown cancer by then. The lump was removed and no further treatment was required. But I faithfully go every year for my mammogram. Yes, they pinch a bit, but I figure a wee pinch once a year is better than the potential outcome I could have had.

    Get em done!!!

    Had my annual squish-o-gram yesterday, so I need not even think about that for another year. Thanks for the reminder, Richard. Flu shots, too if your doctor recommends one! It only hurts for less than a second!

    Richard - I'm so sorry. I hadn't read the prayer thread and did not know that your mother had passed on.
    She's at peace now, and I hope you can find peace in knowing this. You have my most sincere sympathy.
    God bless you both.

    Richard's mother died today. She had been suffering from cancer.

    Paul and I have lost two women we knew this year to breast cancer. I think of them, and the cancer-vivors I know, when I am driving to my yearly squish-o-gram.

    Amen, RICHARD.

    Back in Dec 2006 I went for my annual checkup. Somehow, I missed a year - I am normally really good about these things - but anyway, I was sent for an ultrasound.

    In March of 2007 had a stent put in one ureter as my left kidney was almost completely cut off. On May 22, I had a hysterectomy.

    I HAD NO SYMPTOMS!!!! What I had was a 1 3/4 lb benign (thank God) fibroid tumour.

    Again - I HAD NO SYMPTOMS! If you feel good, this is the PERFECT time to get things checked, before something has a chance to really settle in.

    Please get your checkups. I and all PTRS and many people love you. Please check up on yourself.

    Great advice, RICHARD! Right now I'm being treated for a variety of ailments, atrial fibrillation, diabetes,beginning Parkinson's all of which is being controlled by medications. My medical history reads like War and Peace! So therefore I echo RICHARD's advice.

    I know where this is coming from.

    My doctors and I are right on top of my medical "condition". I do have regular mammograms, regular dental appointments, regular bloodwork done and now that I'm "mature" ......the doctor checks for colon cancer.

    Men, don't be afraid to practice TSE, testicular self examination. You can contact your doctor or any ACS to find out about it.

    As Nike says "Just do it!"

    As for my Estate, well that's all taken care of, isn't it Karen??
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    What a timely thread since I had my mammogram this morning.....OUCH! Better to suffer a couple of seconds than to be walking around in ignorance. Richard I commend you for posting this because men usually don't take very good care of themselves. My hubby avoids the doctor at all costs and I can't even tell you the last time he had a physical or blood work. I have quit nagging. It only makes him mad.

    Pam - please be the biggest nag that you can - so what if he gets mad - he'll get over it and maybe even thank you one day.

    My brother suffered a massive stroke at the age of 59 and never worked or walked or lived any kind of normal life after that. He passed away from complications (pneumonia) at the age of 64! He looked like the picture of health - however he had high blood pressure, but refused to take any medication that the doctor prescribed. He said he was "just fine" without it!

    How I miss him!!!!
