August 12

 I had an appointment with a urologist on Tuesday at 2:30 pm.  I also had an appointment in the first week of June.  In June, my doctor said there was something suspicious about my prostate situation.  I sat on the suspicion through the month of June and July and early August.  I didn't want my girls to worry.  I didn't want anyone to worry so I just prayed that all would be okay.  Back to Tuesday...the urologist says, "Good news, your prostate is good.  In fact, you have the PSA score of a 30 year old."  So was all that worry for naught?  No, in fact I came away with new appreciation for life.  Judy and I always talked about a line we heard in a drama production we attended...There is a big difference between a lump in your porridge and a lump in your breast.  We fixate on little things that annoy us, but the little things that annoy us become less important when we have a cancer scare or a cancer diagnosis.  In spite of the fact that I pulled a hamstring and took a line drive off my shin this morning at slow pitch, I'm feeling very thankful these are just annoying lumps.
