Saw my Dr. yesterday & he's stumped. He said the top Dr. in the country for AMS assisted him with my sling & they can't figure out why I'm not dry & why I had the leak that filled my scrotum. He said...
Pre sling leakage was one pad a day but not full unless I was very active. My Dr. said no problem getting me dry. I'm getting edgy because I have a hunting trip on Oct 4th & I'll be in close quarters...
Well since my last post nothing has changed. I sit in the chair all day & wait for 9:30 so I can go to bed. Still leaking more than a pad a day! Guess it didn't work. Appt. on Monday. I think it will...
Thanks guys for the pep talk. I guess I'm rushing things a little. I'm not used to being down this long. I heal very quickly & I'm very active so I'm expecting good things. BW...

Update: Well back from the Dr. Now he wants a voiding cystocope done. Wants to make sure there are no leaks in uretera I guess. This is becoming a real PITA!!!! If I had any idea this was in store I...
