Hi Paul,

I'm sure it will. I'll probably be done writing in Spring. I'm guessing around 100-150 pages. I may self-publish. I may not.

Yes...from peeing to shut down in less than an hour during a business trip in Cincinnati. Best baseball tickets ever...and a friend is driving me to the emergency room for a catheter...and I am in agony.

I asked the on-call surgeon about it after the surgery. She looked at me sadly, as you would look at a dim witted child and said; "David, the human body has an incredible ability to adapt. But make no mistake, you haven't been normal in a very long time. In Cincinnati your body just couldn't adapt anymore."

I blame part of it on my PCP, who doesn't believe in digital rectal exams. When he told me that on the first exam eight years ago, I should have walked out...but my prostate was tiny at the time. He goes solely by PSA, which is a lousy enlargement indicator. Mine has been around 2.5 for the past 15 years.

I could mention what the Flowmax and Finesteride did to me...but let's leave that gruesomeness for the book.
