6 days out from davinci surgery

   had surgery on 4/25 dr. said all went very well and go back in on friday to hopefully get cath out and get pathology. I want to thank you all again for this site it made the prospects of facing the big C  and surgery not so intimidating . I really did not have much pain except for the first movement pure hell and the cath not bad just a minor irritant thanks again . and remember always look on the bright side of life ........

Jack...........great news too hear, glad your Sx went well, big milestone with your first milestone and then getting that rubber snake out!!! All the best with your pathology report. Heal well with your recovery.

Congratulations and best wishes for a great pathology report and many years of healthy life in front of you.  It sounds as if you came thru the surgery with flying colors.

Good luck, as you begin your recovery side. Hope you get a great pathology report, then get rid of that rubber snake. Here's to better times ahead for you.

Well, I see no one has given you the mantra here, so here goes: Walk, water, walk, water. Even if you only walk to one end of the house to the other- walk, as many times a day as you can, adding more distance to it. And drink water, plenty of water. You got junk, flotsham, clots, pieces and bits of you floating around in there and they need to be flushed out, as well as hyrdating your bowel to get regular again. With the catheter, this is the first time since infancy, probably, when you can pee when and where as you please, so take advantage of it. Walk, water, repeat..

AND, welcome to the other side, here's wishing you a good path report and a lifetime of (statistically below.1) zero's.

I 110% agree with the previous advice to walk, walk, walk. Doc started me on the 10,000 step program (use a pedometer). For some reason lots and lots of walking really seems to help in so many ways. Godspeed.

    thank you for asking pathology could not have been better ....gleason 6  ... no escape from prostate no nodes ect..  now if little willie will cooperate life would be great.......  supposed to try viagra next week per dr. but with my hemiplegic migraines not sure if i will be able to tolerate those but hey alive kicking and crazy as ever ...

WooHoo on a great pathology report. Not time to get on with the healing process. I agree with James Walk, Drink, Walk, Drink.
