Hah, this is a pretty funny post. I turned 35 today (just 10 months behind you), and was doing a quick web search for the milestones “drive, vote, drink, rent a car, Run for President!”
This one came up.

You know, I honestly had not even considered ‘bladder’ issues at my age. I don’t like that I’m half-way to 40, but whatever.

A friend of mine lost her father to a very fast moving and very rare bacterial infection. He had what seemed like a cold, which got progressively worse until he was weak, confused, and his system began shutting down. He was admitted into the hospital with a 20% chance of survival, and passed away a couple of days later.

Why am I mentioning this? Because this man had been very healthy, athletic, and young-at-heart before he contracted this rare disease. The deterioration literally happened over the course of 2 weeks — As I think back to this, it reinforces a realization for me: The only alternative to growing old is dying young.

If nothing else, this post gets great Google Ads being served up. Reminds me of some of those FloMax commercials that start, “Here’s to men…”….and then shows lots of guys in there 40′s, 50′s, 60′s high-fiving, riding bikes, etc. That’s how good life can be when you can pee.

Anyhow, if you start to feel the slightest change in your bladder’s function, take the American path…no change in lifestyle, but look for a medicine you can go on for life to fix it! Hell – chase that medicine down with coffee, tea, or beer.

You worry too much old man, just keep peeing that steady stream and relax…or is it relax and keep peeing…whatever…Happy Belated Birthday…or is it Belated Happy Birthday…see, when you get older, there are other things to worry about than frequency issues…or is it frequency issues is what you worry about when you get older…whatever…interesting ad roll though.

Silver has it right. Your volume and type of intake is more likely to have an impact on your bladder.

Though I just passed 60, I can’t offer personal advice, due to the massive amounts of diuretics I’ve always ingested, except to say having to piss more than average keeps you alert to your surroundings. For you, Ed, that should not be a problem at all.
