May 2010 the decline continues

This month my psa was drawn again. It is .036. It has dropped minimally since my February psa analysis. That decline continues to be good news. I will have to see my urologist in August, after that draw.

This lower psa makes me glad that I have chosen to retire. Even though I am fascinated by the process of changing a culture and have some success at it, the window of health presented by the numbers make it foolish to not go now. I am looking at the Travel section and the travel magazines with new impulsive attention. I plan to take some of those trips, but in the US and in Canada (Newfoundland) and abroad (Norway).

In addition, the lasting effects of my battle are weight that I am having trouble losing. I have been at 205 or so for months. Hopefully exercising after retirement will bring me down to 190. And ed. This condition remains strong (or weak depending on the outlook). I am not sure how to resolve this. Maybe I will return to cialis. But what I have found is that a marriage based on love, respect, and appreciation can accommodate this condition. And, since my wife is such a fine cook, I can live the old adage "Lovin' don't last, cookin' do.

I am looking forward to a summer of biking and some area travel.
