Mel, you will have to fight my daughter over the car. 142, I haven't had a good nights sleep in a while so that is another thing I am looking forward to after the surgery. I know how to push a button! Terry, sorry you had such a rough time with surgery. I know it had to be a nervous time for your wife as well. Plan on relaxing as much as possible tonight. It is the final good meal until surgery is over...so I am going to make the best of it! So glad I don't have to take citrate of magnesia. As much as I like lemonaide, I gag when I think about any lemon flavored product. For my colonoscopy two years ago, I kept throwing up the citrate of magnesia....that is some nasty stuff. Doctor has given me a $50 drug called Osmoprep. Have to take 20 pills over about a 90 minute period. Something tells me my rear is going to be hugging the toilet all night Wednesday!

I heard there is an unwritten rule in this forum that if one of us doesn't make ti through PC surgery we get to hold an auction for all of that guy's prized possessions like the car Mel wants. BTW I need a good boat?  smilewinkgrin So far in my 2 years here not one auction has been held and I guarantee you will not be the first. Relax today and we will see you on the other side.

You are probably more likely to die on the way to the hospital in an auto accident than you are of the surgery. Even if you did die, you will come back and probably bite your dr. because we are all infected.

Water Guy and Lowandslow, thanks for giving me a chuckle! One thing about this disease, you got to have a sense of humor or you will loose your sanity. Lowandslow I assume your comment about all being infected was a reference to The Walking Dead. If so, my favorite quote from the show comes from Hershel. Something along the lines of...."I know God talked about raising from the dead, but I just don't think this is what he had in mind"...as the farm was being overrun by walkers.

These are all normal thoughts to go thru,you are amazingly doing everything right,I also went to what I believe in,I know it helped.I have been practicing Tia -Chi for 3 years and have done touch therapy for years ,which is using energy within yourself to heal ,calm and even help others.The power of the mind is so strong, if you let it wander nono it can also allow negative energy also.

We all are thinking positive :-) and just the thoughts of you from all these posts are energy storing up for your big day. You will shed that yucky old prostate and move on to the fun things in life,it will humble and put you in with a great group of people(us)that was one of my main tools for support.

  So no your not being irrational just normal,and think of all you have going for ya.I kept thinking of placing that fly on open water ,waiting for that signal,a big brown was about to attack and arriba the water came alive and so do I every time.Put your mind in that most favorite place you like to be,close your eyes and you will be there! Best of luck!  Chi yeah

Love is healing so love yourself!

David, Either I am dense or just too new to understand all the abbreviations. But I can't figure out what gfmph stands for. I have some good stuff...at least it is good to me, but I got to know what that means before I let y'all go divying up my stuff!

Hey tdnjam Jim

GFMPH stands for "Good For Men's Prostate Health". It is one of the benefits of PCA! You can use it to justify virtually any personal request for toys or activities that would, under normal circumstances, be denied.

Just say it with your saddest puppy dog eyes and your voice quivering:

"Dear, I heard that vigorous emptying of the prostate on the eve of surgery is Good For Men's Prostate Health." Shazam! Wish granted!

Now is the time to ask for that snowblower you've been lusting over. Or in my case a certain rifle scope.

Just say: "Dear, I heard that ______ is Good For Men's Prostate Health." She cannot refuse.

Sleep tight!

Jim, rather than letting us buzzards go through your stuff, you should auction off your stuff here, then take the money to Nevada and play spin the bottle with as many fancy girls as you can afford.

GFMPH - means you can use your PC for your advantage when needed. Those sad looks, pitiful eyes, when you are trying to weasel a new toy in your life.

Thank you for opening my eyes to the endless possibilities! I knew there was something about PCa I might like!

Tdnjam

The only good thing PCa gave to me was the lifelong friendships I have made in this forum through our GFMPH Gatherings. We have an informal gathering of members here with some wives in Baton Rouge in April and Upstate NY in September. I have also organized the first ever GFMPH cruise from New Orleans in December. We meet for a long weekend and share our stories and PC journeys and have a ton of fun just making friendships that as we all say will last a lifetime. The amazing thing is we have from 15 to 25 HW members attending and so far not one fight or shouting match has resulted, imagine getting that many old farts together and not one of them is an as**hole.  After you get to the other side and we do not get the chance to auction off your prized possessions please consider attending one of these gatherings it will change your life forever. Drive that car that Mel wants if its not too far from where you live. I had my surgery in June 2011 and got coaxed into attending my first GFMPH gathering in NY that September and haven't missed another one.

See you soon on the otherside.

Terry The GFMPH Cruise Director
