Had RALP on 7/16. Nerve sparing both sides. He also took out lymph nodes both sides. Left the hospital at noon of the following day. Pain was not too bad. Used only Tylenol starting day 2. Catheter was a pain. Initially some bleeding particularly when walking.

Follow up visit on 7/24. Catheter out. Dry at night. Some leakage during the day. Path report confirmed G7 (3+4) involving 15% of the gland. Contained in the gland. No SV. NO ECE NO LN. Good as I could have hoped for. I am sure I will be sweating my first postoperative PSA
