Well it has been slightly over a year since retirement came about and I think I have handled it rather well. After 40 years of heading into The Arb I didn't find it too hard to settle into reading the newspaper and enjoying my coffee in the morning. I've kept in touch with staff on a periodic basis but only on a personal basis. I'm sure my health has been better not being involved in the stress of dealing with the GTI move.
I wish I could say the same wrt to my PSA. It has begun to creep up and it looks like I'll need to go on some hormone shots in the next year or less to keep it in check. A lot will depend on what the level is in November but I suspect that by early next year Chin will have me undergo an MRI and a bone scan to get a better idea what is happening. Of course by that time it will be 14 years since I received the original diagnosis.
Hiking has been slow but progressive. More will come on that later.
