Don't put it off. The degrading part can't be anywhere near as bad as wearing a bag to poop in for the rest of your life... not kidding! I know several who wish they would have went when the turned 50ish. Some are still alive but more are dead already and under 60 to boot.Who said medicine was a theme park. I am due one considering my age but I am putting it off as long as possible. The very thought of it is degrading.
