X,
Phys Asst who was on scene during interrogations in Roger's case  
answered all my pressing medical questions.  Asked him about my PSA  
blood test results and he said that was enough of a bump from last  
year's reading that I should go over to our doc's office and pick up  
that referral and go see a urologist.  No cause for alarm.  Says  
Urologist will take another PSA test to confirm and if he suspects  
anything, may do a biopsy (which doesn't sound fun but it's under  
anesthesia.  That could rule out cancer.  Says I should just do it.   
So I will.
He examined my sore shoulder.  Is convinced it's a damaged rotator  
cuff.  Knows because he's had the similar problem and had it fixed.   
Recommends seeking further diagonsis to determine the extent of the  
damage to determine whether it will eventually heal on its own or may  
require arthroscopic surgery to repair.  That's the back of my  
shoulder.  The front has begun to be a problem, too.  May be related.   
Only way they can tell for sure is with an MRI with an injection of  
dye.  Yucky.  But it's really becoming annoying and definitely not  
getting better.  Believes it's from lifting too much weight in a chest  
press and letting my upper arms go backwards past parallell to my  
back.  Thinking back, that's the way I always did bench press.
Gave me suggestions for better workouts which I plan to adopt.  He's  
62 and been at his profession for a helluva long time and I trust him.
Love you big time!
