It would be nice if we were all beatific Gandhi types, but that might get a bit boring too
I'm not a saint, but I am sober and I think I do a bit of good in my life. I try to improve but I also like myself warts and all.
That seems a reasonable sort of perspective to me
Hope you get some of those answers, and some good news with it, really soon

You sure "do a lot of good in your life" Dee! And you're a very level headed fellow. The bottom line for me (maybe a pun since it's prostate we're talking about!) is that I'd just as well not die a painful death, particularly since, being a recovering alcoholic, I'm not easy to medicate for pain. So I told my doctor that I'd just as well check out with a massive heart attack or stroke in the middle of the night and he reached in his desk drawer and gave me a gift certificate for Dr. Kervorkian (good for one visit). I seem to have mislaid it somewhere. As for the prostate, I'll go for the biopsy but, beyond that I don't think I'll consent to any "heroic measures"! Poor Kervorkian! He's the butt of many a good joke, like the fellow who called him in the middle of the night and Kervorkian said, "Take two aspirin and we'll kill you in the morning!"
