It was time for the yearly physical. I'm fifty two and the physicals after fifty are supposed to be a yearly event. I would be a great deal more accomidating to this medical schedule if the physicals were not so damn invasive. That prostate exam almost makes it a deal breaker. My last physical was in 2008. I was given a clean bill of health in 2008 and given another here in 2012. Aside from my left leg, ankle and foot I'm in good health. I attribute my good health status to the miles I get in. Even with a bad leg, ankle and foot I still get my miles in. They're not fast. There is nothing impressive about the distance and speed I ride at. but I'm still in the game.
Needing a yearly physical is a facts of life for a man in his fifties. They would be a great deal more tolerable palatable if they did not include the prostate exam.
Prospective:
The toughest coach in the history of football (Vince Lombardi) died earlier in life than necessary because he did not want to get a physical. Imagine that, all that "toughness" but not tough enough to get a physical. Coach could not deal with the exam. I learned this info on a recent documentary about Coach Lombardi. It was a great documentary that did an amazing job of defining Coach Lombardi's life and success. Definitely worth watching if you are a fan of football or a fan of leadership.
The physical gave me a new appreciation for what the ladies go through every six months when taking BCP’s.
Bottom line, I'm in good health.
I'm alive at fifty two and in good health. Nobody would have thought this possible when I was thirty two. I was surrounded by such negativity and toxic/cancerous lives. The work and how it was defined evolved. It went from being something exciting and
At some point I expected to be killed
t thirty three I doubted my ability to survive and see my fThe odds makers in vegas would have bet against me. I would live to see fifty two.
