Came home yesterday afternoon from surgery. The Doctor said everything went well. The limp nodes were clear, both nerve bundles were saved and he said that the cancer looks like it was contained to the prostate. So far all looks good. The catheter is not all that bad I will be glad to have it removed on Monday 8/18. My stomach is sore but feeling better each day. Eating light and soft foods for the next few days. It is great to be home and on the road to recovery. Thanks for all the prayers and support.

Jeff, glad to hear from you and welcome to the other side.  Your job now is to recover strength, heal and get on with life.  Drink plenty of liquids, steadily increased the walking alternating with lots of rest.

HI Jeff.

Glad to see you on the other side. Now let the healing begin. Walk as much as you feel like, but don't overdo it. Let us know how you are doing.

Yippee!! Glad to hear the good news about your surgery, Jeff! I agree--the catheter was not that bad and more of an inconvenience than a pain. And I slept thru the night without having to get up to make my bladder gladder. Take care and--no pun intended--hang in there...Tim

Congrats Jeff
Like everyone says take it easy. Watch your lifting. I just had my catheter removed on Monday. It wasn't too bad. More of an inconvenience.
