My wife has had both knees replaced and I have had one. Rehab is certainly not for the faint of heart, but it was better than not getting it. My rehab was worse than her’s, but I’ll get the other one done if it comes to it.

Hang-in there Bruce, I know it's tough going through surgeries and treatments. I have had five different cancer surgeries, treatments, chemo, radiation, and knee replacement surgery. But through the grace of God I'm still plugging along, enjoying my grandchildren, spending summers in the garden and fishing. Fall Winter and spring is trained time and I'm still able to crawl underneath the layout. Just a little slower now.
So hang in and stay positive as much as you can. I know it seems like everything was dumped on you all at one time so I am hopefully things will improve. I will pray for of brighter future for you.
Stan

Bruce sending thoughts and prayers your way.
For those that have or had prostate cancer. Was there anything telling you something was wrong? My grandfather died from it. It has been quite sometime since I was checked.

No Rj nothing unusual. My annual PSA test number jumped and that started the process.

It has been quite sometime since I was checked. I didn't have any symptoms that made me think I had cancer. My PSA number was increasing but my first biopsy was negative. My doctor wanted an MRI to see what was going on and that found the cancer. It was on the front of my prostate and very unlikely to be picked up in a biopsy. I felt fine other than the usual enlarged prostate problems.

In reading through these post, I have come to realize there is a need for the Train Fairy. Similar to the Tooth Fairy, when you have an ailment, you make your wish known about that train you want and while your out, POOF, there it is. The ailments would have to be naturally occurring. Running out to the garage and hitting the thumb with a hammer would not count. OR, be able to claim our trains under the prescription drug coverage of our health insurance. For me, my trains are tranquilizers. Of course there are those days they induce more pain than they relieve. I think they refer to that as a side affect from taking the medication. I retired on my birthday in 2018. I am a firm believer in work hard and play harder. My body is letting me know of my follies.

Spike, The Train Fairy sounds like a great idea for us retired guys who keep coming up with ailments. For my knees, it was just wear and tear. For my back and sciatic nerves, it was our old foe, Arthur Itis. If the Train Fairy showed up as much as Arthur does, we would all have lots of trains!
Bruce, I'm certainly praying for you!!

I think the train fairy is an excellent idea. I will mention it to my wife. Wonder if she will get the hint.
Funny thing is whenever I get hurt (a scratch, bruise or other dent), I always half joking I sometimes say that I think I need a new train to make me feel better. Martha doesn’t seem to like that joke for some reason.

It has been quite sometime since I was checked. RJ, Yes I survived Prostate Cancer and the only reason for that is that I had a PSA test every year. Early detection is the key. Next to Skin Cancer, Prostate Cancer is the most common kind of cancer for men and my urologist told me if a man lives long enough they will develop Prostate Cancer. Statistically 1 man in 8 will develop this cancer. The good news is that it is easily cured in the early stages. Get tested!
