Hi Everyone..The weather here in R.I. has been phenomenal for the month of Nov..With the exception for alot of rain this month the days have been mild and only a few nights below freezing..It was a great month for fishing, and I got alot of days in..Today was absolutely beautiful out there

My brother went in to see the Urologist on Monday, and the Dr said that his prostate was enlarged, but minimal for his age..He suggested a biopsy anyway just to be on the safe side, so my brother will go back in on Dec 8..The encouraging news is that the Dr said that just because his PSA was high doesnt mean that there is anything wrong..That was a relief!..So we will see what the outcome of the biopsy results are

I spent Thanksgiving with some friends this year because my truck is on its last leg and I didnt trust it to take the 70 mile ride to my girlfriends house in the pouring rain..My brother spent the day with my aunt and uncle..The turkey was great as was all the trimmings..It was a good day, and it was a day of rest in a sense for me that was much needed..And as usual it poured cats and dogs all day long..Seems it always rains 9 out of 10 Thanksgivings Days..It was also a good day to reflect on how good my life is inspite of that fact that I have pd, and that in some strange ways pd has also enriched my life..I needed to think about that, because there is no denying that pd is now begun to invade the other side of my body..Its apparent in my gait, and my left hand has lost some coordination..I drop things frequently, have some difficulty occasionally picking things up, separating bills in my wallet..turning pages, as well as other assorted tasks, and sometimes it tries my patience, and angers me..Ive found that acceptence comes in layers like the peeling of an onion..You are confronted with it..you embrace it..and you let it go..and move on..untill next time..

Because I sold my boat I was able to buy a 19' fiberglass boat, motor, and trailer that was a real sweet deal..All in excelent shape..I need something much more stable than the boat Ive been using, and I also bought another truck yesterday, A 2001 Ford Ranger with a 4 cylinder engine..Now when gas goes back up to $3.25 per gallon it wont matter so much..You have to fight fire with fire..If ya cant join 'em..beat 'em..

How was your week?

Steve
