Default I have to agree

I've got a great doctor at the Jesse Brown VA Center - in Crown Point, IN. I've been seeing her for years and she's tough as nails. Had terrible back aches and after some x-rays and more blood work she found three lower spinal disk had collapsed. Blood work came in with very low D and I went on 50K units of D for 8 weeks. Pain lessened and D came back up. She wanted to prescribe testosterone but was afraid it would drive up my PST levels in my prostrate and lead to cancer. So we discussed this and I stated I'd rather have a little back ache then increase my chances for cancer. I also spent three hours in the eye clinic and found out I need cataract eye surgery I have to get this done before May of 2016 or run the risk of loosing my license.

Take about 6 meds a day but I keep passing my physical every six months. It's a bitch getting old - sure wish I was back in my mid-to-late 20's for about 6 months to know just how much I've degraded over the years.

Wish all you guys a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years Got only knows how much longer we will all be here - most of my Buds have already moved on. Pal's are getting thin and I just lost my younger Sister last year -
