Chowder's Notepad

To go where no man has gone before

When a man reaches a certain age, certain tests are prudent to ensure they are at the peak of health.

Well, I am at one of those milestones and had my first prostate exam. Dr. J went where no man has gone before.

It wasn't nearly as bad as I've heard. Yes, a bit embarrassing BUT you know what? He's a professional and he does this all day long and has seen everything before. No, I won't jump up & down and volunteer for this exam again until it's necessary but it was OK.

And considering if they find something early they can treat it with a very high survival rate, it's worth the minor discomfort and embarrassment.
