Jeff, you are an animal. I think most over 75 generally want to avoid surgeries. Anyway in regards to Prostate surgery, surgeons don’t want patient’s older than 75, but that is for a combination of reasons, primarily of I think known life expectancy actuarial rates and overall health. Heck 80 year olds run marathon, although I did read once where as soon as this old guy finished he checked out with a heart attack.

@wheel1 Old guy? Last summer, our local orthopedic surgeon - who was also a Juilliard piano virtuoso - dropped dead after the last leg of a Triathlon. He was 56!
