Just got this email from a concerned friend related to a little procedure I had a couple of months ago. Lovely!
Josh,Thanks for your concern, Jim.
Here is the latest news in the medical field as it relates to vasectomies. Interesting quote.. “It causes people's language capabilities to decline steadily, with symptoms such as faulty recollection of names of people and things, difficulties in speech, reading and writing, and poor comprehension”.
Knowing you will be around here for years, I will be observing any real big changes as it relates to your health…You might want to warn Doug or keep an eye on him also….This is one that you probably won’t BLOG about.
Jim
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Men who have had a vasectomy may face an increased risk of developing a rare type of dementia marked by a steady loss of language skills, researchers said on Tuesday. Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois, writing in the journal Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology, linked this male sterilization surgery to a neurological condition called primary progressive aphasia, or PPA.

Joshua,
I think dementia is the last thing I would be worrying about when considering a procedure like that.
