Fact:\u00a0 Prostate tissue typically releases small amounts of PSA into your blood.\u00a0 <\/strong>When the prostate grows, PSA levels increase, and when the entire prostate is removed, PSA levels fall close to zero<\/strong>.\u00a0 Most procedures to treat an enlarged prostate remove only part of the prostate, which partially decreases PSA levels.<\/em><\/p>\n

We arrived at the airport at 4:00 AM, and the Alamo folks drove us to AA so we would not have to move our baggage and take a shuttle; very thoughtful!<\/p>\n

We departed for Chicago on time and will be in SoCal in 3.5 hours!!\u00a0 The rise was 45 minutes long in a puddle jumper, but it was a nice Canadair (Bombardier) CRJ900 regional jet, and the airline staff was extremely friendly.<\/p>\n

\"\"

It was a very smooth 45 minute ride1<\/p><\/div>\n

We dashed from Terminal G to Terminal H with assistance from the wheelchair operator.\u00a0 We made it with two minutes to spare before boarding started.\u00a0 I gave him a BIG tip, and he was so excited he danced out of the airplane to the boarding desk; everyone wondered what had happened!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next airplane was a full-sized Boeing 737, which was nearly new.\u00a0 We took off on schedule and were at 37,000 feet in minutes.\u00a0 We were in first class, so we had an excellent meal.\u00a0 Enchiladas at 37,000 feet, what a way to travel!<\/p>\n

\"\"

This is how I roll!<\/p><\/div>\n

A friend has bought an old aircraft, taken the wings off, and turned it into a restaurant. I don\u2019t think it will take off.<\/p>\n

We were a few minutes late getting in as another airplane requested priority clearance, so we went around once.\u00a0 We are anxious to get home and see everyone, especially Colleen, Robin, and Joe.<\/p>\n

Colleen was johnny on the spot and pulled up right in front t of the terminal.<\/p>\n

\"\"

It must be time to go to bed!<\/p><\/div>\n

We went to the Elks for a Girls’ Night Out at the Elks.\u00a0 We did not stay very long as we were both exhausted!\u00a0 We had not slept for 36 hours.\u00a0 When we got home, Mary crashed, and I puttered around for a while as I could not find a position for the catheter equipment to operate correctly, and I did NOT want to wake up Mary.\u00a0 I did get to sit in several chairs which I haven’t set on in months1<\/p>\n

The new garden looks terrific, and we will be planting things in a month!\u00a0 My wife asked me if I thought we needed new garden furniture. I\u2019m sitting on the fence.<\/p>\n

Our new sign looked great! By November we ought have some winter plantings started.<\/p>\n

\"\"

It matches the sign on the front door!<\/p><\/div>\n

I learned from my last garden an outdoor sink to wash the crops will come in very handy!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mary got an outdoor sink.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our berries will go in this bed since it gets afternoon sun and has no direct connection to the rest of the yard.\u00a0 By next summer, we will have boysenberries, blackberries, raspberries, and other great berries growing crazy.<\/p>\n

November is an excellent month for planting garlic, beans, peas, cabbage, broccoli, kale, parsnips, chard, radishes, lettuces, carrots, turnips, spinach, collards<\/a><\/span>, and beets,<\/p>\n

\"\"

Cut those greens, add dirt, and we are ready to go!<\/p><\/div>\n

We visited upstairs, where Colleen had decorated the holiday tree. She did an amazing job.\u00a0 I member her first date. Watching your daughter being collected by her date feels like handing over a million-dollar Stradivarius to a gorilla.<\/p>\n

Our daughters are miracles that never cease to be miraculous\u2026 full of beauty, and forever beautiful\u2026 loving and caring, and truly amazing.<\/cite><\/p>\n

\"\"

I was sitting upstairs enjoying the tree.<\/p><\/div>\n

Tomorrow it gets more orange and purple decorations.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The spooky tree is decorated.<\/p><\/div>\n

We crashed early; Colleen went to visit her mother in La Mirada, and that went well; we were happy for the good visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
