Dear Abby: I am married, but my wife and I are unhappy and have been for years. We grew apart after 17 years. We tried counseling multiple times; it only reinforces the decision to divorce. I have had two affairs. One lasted six months; the other on and off for the past nine months.
Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 61-year-old male, and I’m currently taking medication for blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes. Five years ago, I was diagnosed with deep venous thrombosis (a blood clot in my right leg). I was prescribed Coumadin. After taking Coumadin for six months (I never could get the number right), I went to the emergency room, and the doctor there said that the Coumadin wasn’t working. So, he prescribed Eliquis. He told me that I would be taking a blood thinner for the rest of my life.

Dear Dr. Roach: My husband had surgery the first time he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Five years later, he had a recurrence. We investigated his options and decided to go with the proton therapy. I am surprised you did not suggest this treatment in your recent column about prostate cancer. He had no further recurrences and recommended it to others who had good experiences and outcomes.
Dear Abby: About 20 years ago, my mother-in-law confided something shocking to me. Some background: My husband has two sisters. One is a year older and looks just like him. They both resemble their dad. The younger one looks nothing like the other two or their dad.
In Scotland you play “Hunt the Gowk Day” (gowk means fool), in Spain and France paper fish are taped onto unsuspecting people’s backs and in Portugal they throw flour at you. In the US, England and Germany are trotted out outrageous but believable stories. What have you planned for April Fool’s Day? A big spider drawn on the toilet paper roll? Just an idea.
