Maybe it's DIM overload / overdose! OK now what is anastrazole? Did Paul get DIMWITTED too? I can't keep up anymore!
Well, Old Petes falling apart! Had a ambiblical hernia fixed last week, ya know the mesh thing. He crossed the "T" my prostatectomy scar w/ a 4" cut below my B.B. then dotted the "I" with a hole right under my B.B.
but I couldn't feel it at all as I was having such awful pain in my neck from torn & ripped disks, stenosis, nerve impingement and a bunch of other good stuff. My Doc took one look at the MRI I had last week and said "you need to see a surgeon, NOW! So I'm seeing my first of who knows how many surgeons tomorrow. I probably won't like him and I will get a 2nd, 3rd & 4th opinion before anyone starts cutting on my neck!! I've been living with a tens unit & pain pills. The other good news is that my lower back (lumbar) is just as bad as my neck. Oh the crazy days are coming back on me with a vengence! I'm also told I need a new hip & knee but they don't hurt as bad as the neck & back yet so first things first, right? Poor lisa, what I'm putting her through. But she still stands by me even if it's 250 miles away. Anyway, sorry about all the great news from Sunny South Fla. Keep the faith!
Your Old Beat-up Buddy,
Pete

Swim,

Glad to here the well-deserved good news. Also, I have to add that your unselfish willingness to help others, on or off line (me included) is highly commendable and, I'm sure, much appreciated.

Hi David,

My youngest son Pete Jr. is on the USS Bataan a WASP Class Anphibious Assalt Ship which can carry up to 5,000 Marines, 6 - 8 Harriors, helicopors & Ospreys. Their mascot is a Gator and I've been told by more than one Sailor including my son that it's called a Gator Freightor. They will be bringing troops to Afganastan this April. Check out her web page. Like Pete Jr. says, "it's a really awsome ship Dad!" My oldest son Joe is on the USS John C. Stennis a Nemitz class air craft carrier which is in the Port of Hong Kong right now. Joe says, "It's a really BIG awsome ship Dad!" They are both very proud of their ships. No, I was never in the Navy, they got the idea from their older cousin who they are very close to. He served as a Coreman in Iraq with the Marines.

Your friend/,

Pete

Hey Swim and Pete,

Nice to see you both back on the forum. You two gave me my life back after surgery and low T. Your conversation here on HW about low T got me to find a uro that is reasonable about testosterone therapy after prostate cancer. (They are hard to find.)

So I just wanted to thank you both again and let any guys that have low testosterone know that there is hope for a better life...

Pete, got you now. Familiar with both their ships. Yes, there would have to be some serious pride. My grandfather was army WW1, my father was Navy WW2/Korea, I was Navy Viet-Nam, and my oldest son was Army pre-first Gulf War, so I think we have contributed our share. No complaints.

Swim

This is the type of information that gives us hope.

Thank You!
