E-mail from my wife:
I do not care how much work you have to do today. Yournumber priority is deciding which doctor you are going to go see and thencalling to make an appointment TODAY. You may be busy, and that may seem importantin the short-term. But you are my husband and the father of mychild. I need you here for the long-term. I want you in to see adoctor as soon as possible....and definitely before the new year.
Please e-mail me back once you have done so. I love you.

Notes:
I have not had a physical in probably 18 years, and my dad was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer (his father had it too) and it may have spread to his bones from going unchecked.
So what do I have to do....just pick a regular primary doctor from the list of available docs and ask him to finger ny bootyhole?
I'm the worst person to ask as I waited 7 months, knowing I had a brain tumor (but lying to myself the entire time) before going to see the doctor, and I only went then because the pain was becoming unbearable.
but your wife is right, 100% in her thinking. you need to be there for them.
See a GP. Get a referral from your friends on who they see. It's the first, best, easiest stop.
Most likely, you will have to get a full colonoscopy too. Those suck, but if you haven't had one, you will.
That won't happen today. it needs to be scheduled, as they normally anethestize you for it.
