Welcome to HW, and the other side. In another thread, he said:

Hello everyone,

I am new here. Had my prostate removed roboticly 1/6/10 My first time in a hospital got myself ready for the worse! I have to say I had no pain what so ever never took any pain pills at all. Just a little tenderness where they did the incisions to me that was just like healing from an average cut. The catheter was more of a pain in the neck than anything else. Be prepared for incontinence when the catheter is removed got mine out 12 days ago Jan 19th much improvement in that time.

Welcome Woodguy, and it sounds like you came thru surgery remarkably well. Next step is getting the cath out. Keep us posted and let us know how the pathology report turns out.

Thanks for all your support it feels good to air out some thoughts. My wife has been great during all of this. Now we are ready to deal with my 1st PSA count on Feb 11th. Then of course the incontinence and ED.
