    Meh, and by the lack of comments, it seems most don't even want to talk about it, the "Priests Disease", I believe. Went to the Dr. yesterday, BP a little high( 160/85), but settled down some as I sat there. Naturally, the Dr. wants all kinds of tests, from A-Z, I said, look doc, I'm 70, and deathly afraid of the healthcare system and what may lie ahead, besides, why buy new tires for a junk truck? He didn't like that analogy, and focused more on the quality of REMAINING years, rather than total duration. I said, well, we'll see, like he's never heard that before. I bet so many of our family members died of prostate cancer, and we never knew it. "Natural causes", they said, and was good enough and that was that.
