Well, here I sit after a year; I guess all is good considering the alternative. I do still have an ongoing issue with a stricture the doc found at the bladder neck in the urethra some months ago(In...
Sorry I dropped the ball on this one! The hernia op was obviously a piece of cake in comparison! I was back to work a couple of days later. Really just pain at the incision....
All was going quite well for a bit, then I had more and more problems urinating, and had a mild UTI or two back in May and into June. Fast forward to last Thursday, and a cystoscopy was performed in...
Thanks, guys. Giving work a try tomorrow, we'll see how it goes....
Well, I was in the OR by 8:10, home by 11:15. Piece of cake. Some pain for sure, but I'd do forty of these before another RRP! A hundred forty maybe. Thanks for the well wishes, back to work tomorrow!...
I'm right behind you, T! Double hernia on Monday, my expectation is being much more comfortable than the LAST time I left the OR......
Well, the bleeding never really continued, and I never heard from the doc. Friday I go in to have the (now double) hernia taken care of. Should be like a teeth cleaning in comparison to RRP!...
Jeez, is it coincidence that the right testicle always seems to be the painful one? I have had the same problem, although I've had it in years past as well. I also now have a hernia on the same side,...

So, I'm just short of 5 months from surgery, and things have been going as well as can be expected, but I have seen some blood in my urine a few times in the last couple of weeks? It seems to be in...
Although I am now continent (first full padless day!!), I am continuing to visit the acupuncturist to address the ED problem. My thought was that I would have no "luck" for at least a year, possibly...
I started acupuncture at 8 weeks (5-8 pads a day), and am 98% dry today at 12 weeks. Again, no real scientific proof... Funny thing happened at my first appointment, though. I got up from the table...
O.K., I lurk no more!...
Acupuncture did it for me....
