Chasing Ducks ...

I have been given one advantage regarding my fight with the monster; his name is Max. He and the ducks in Lake Banook have given me the gift of getting in shape.

Everything I have read and every Doctor I have chatted with have indicated that I have good odds in beating the monster. I may have already won (70% probability) but this beast is cannot be underestimated. I have been told that most men who have prostate cancer never die from it; they usually die from something else. A cardiac problem such as a heart attack. Get active and get in better shape; these are recommendations from my doctors and my good wife "A". I am trying to do my best.

Thank God for Max. He has been a great walking companion. He has taught me how to smile and loose a bit of weight at the same time. Our walks around Lake Banook are a morning ritual and have paid off. It has been 3 weeks since I have been off the undergarments and I owe this speedy bladder control recovery all to Max and the ducks who live on Lake Banook.

As we walk around the Lake, he always wants to chase a duck. This must be just natural for a yellow lab. He lunges and I pull back. This action must be the Kegel Exercise ever! I must have done this a thousand times over the past couple of months. And as a result, I have had no embarrassing accidents. Thank you Max.
