8. I had my prostate out 23 years ago

& i'm doing fine. I had to make some inconvenient adjustments along the way, but i just thought of how many of us men go through prostate cancer and at least didnt feel so all alone. My faith helped, my 12-step work helped, talking about it when i needed to helped. All my prayers and love to you, Mike. I'll tell you one story after i had the biopsy on my prostate. They told me before one of the minor effects of the biopsy, which i quickly forgot. So I was, uh, fiddling around with myself the next day or so, and my semen comes out brown! Rust-colored! A mix of semen and the blood that normally gets in there after the biopsy. My heart about stopped until i remembered what they'd told me, and i went ahead and cleaned up the area with relief. Again, Mike, prayers, etc., and if something incongruously makes you feel like laughing along the path, indulge! In fact if you message me your address I'll send you a copy of Mixed Animal, the novel. It might tickle you here and there.
