@readandlearn "Maybe there's a reason for that."

Maybe, but if I have an option to be proactive on my end, I usually pursue it. Even if it's experimental. (I analyze the crud out of risk vs reward and ROI of protocols before implementation.)

As a lifelong competitive athlete and senior analyst, I'm extremely intuned with my body and mind. If something slips by my observational skills, I've got live-in loved ones who are quick to point it out.

Oh, I haven't mentioned this yet, but the pressurized air intubation during prostatectomy surgery popped my left lung like a balloon, (and probably came close to popping the right one as well.) The surgical staff assured me that my extreme heavy chest and high-pitched voice were normal and would dissipate shortly, so I didn't even stay overnight. Symptoms worsened by the next morning and I had a ton of air bubbles under the skin of my chest and neck. My urologist nurse recommended I go to the ER. My surgeon called me separately and reiterated that it was normal, but that I 'could' go to the ER if I wanted to. Collapsed lung! Lung tube inserted and a three-day stint in the hospital. I know, I know, these things happen, but this reinforces my opinion of the medical community. They don't know everything, and I'm silly if I don't act as my own best advocate and perform my own research. I trust but verify.
