Getting old sucks
Talk to your PCP then about Avodart to shrink your prostate. Another thing urologists won’t deal with.

Getting old sucks
Urologists will never recommend PAE because they can’t do it. It’s done by an interventional radiologist only. HoLep was my second choice.

Getting old sucks
I researched for several months and decided on PAE based on several factors: No cath necessary, quick recovery time(although the first week was painful) and very few reported side effects( I had none). The other option I looked at extensively was Urolift but I was not a candidate due to the size of my prostate( in excess of 80 ml) which is the recommended max. I ruled out TURP because anecdotally it went poorly for my father and a friend of mine. I was on Tamsulosin(Flomax) for 5 years before it finally stopped working. It should be your first choice and possibly Avodart before any procedure.

Billy Joel doc on HBO
Never much of a fan but I saw both parts of the documentary and it was excellent and pulled no punches. He has a lot of personal family traumas he’s still working through

Jaws 50th
Excellent documentary on the making of the movie on Nat Geo. Saw it when it came out in a packed theater and I remember everyone going crazy when Ben Gardner’s head popped up.

He gambled that Golden would be available. They need a number two in the worst way. After Collins the others are really threes since Tank is gone

Thread of Belt Tightening
We were planning a month long trip to Spain and Portugal this Fall but that’s out now. Less about the money but more about potential issues with locals and other European tourists
