Thanks all, each day feels like a small celebration but I did allow myself a weekend of fishing...
Great news...celebrate life!11...
Well my waiting is over and feel pretty lucky. Last week I had my meeting with the Dr. To review my final pathology results. I had my robotic assisted prostactomy 7 weeks ago today. My PSA is less...
Hi Yooper, I am just 3 weeks out of surgery and decided on the robotic. I recommend you have a second opinion as well as having another Dr. Read your labs. My original readings were all 3+3 but I...
Just checking in and giving an update. Basically life is pretty good, swelling is gone, back to work today, very little leaking and I'm even getting some "life" down there. I go in 8/13 for PSA test...
Welcome back...its just been a little over 2 weeks for me and it gets better each day. Don't overdo it and watch what you eat..nothing that may cause gas....
I'm keeging as I type this....ahhhh feel the burn baby Thanks guys...
OK' this may seem a silly question but....what is the purpose for doing the keegle exercises? Is the purpose to build your muscles the eliminate any leaking?. So far I really have not had any leaking...
Winnie I had the same sensation but each day it gets better. I had cathetrr removed last Thur. And feels almost normal today...
All good points guys and I have no issue with being patient with this. Fact is I feel pretty fortunate right now, although I have to pee a lot I'm taking in 100oz or so of liquids to flush everything...
Ever since I have had the catheter removed I can't seem to go more than a couple hours without having to urinate. Sleeping seems to be in 2 hour intervals and easier in a recliner than a bed. I hope...
Hi Bill, I had my robotic surgery less than 2 weeks ago on 7/2 so it's all pretty fresh and I'm still recovering. All I can say is that you will begin to heal a bit everyday. My biggest issue was...
Thanks guys, still on antibiotic to protect from infections and as far as blood just a drop or so at the beginning. Staying away from carbonated drinks, lots of water and a little juice. I appreciate...
I had my catheter removed yesterday and up to this afternoon all seemed fine, very little leaking and stronger stream than I can remember. The last few hours I really feel the need to urinate more...
Happy Birthday David, I'm hoping you can say your 60s were spent getting back some of the time you lost in your battles during your 50s. DAve...
Bloating is much better today, I did a lot of reading on types of foods that cause gas and found I was eating most of them so faster than I was releasing gas I was building more. I am hopeful the...
Today marks 10 days since my robotic assisted surgery and I had the catheter removed and the plumbing seems to be working....sure didn't want that put back in. Also, found out that the lymph nodes...
Ouch...come on Goodlife, it still hurts to laugh. Seriously, the least little food seems to blow me up..geeeesh Thanks for the chuckle...
Thanks Mike, bout the same for me...
It's just been one week since surgery and I still look like I just ate a cow..how long before the swelling is gone? Passing gas now so figure it must just be from surgery. I see Dr. On Thursday but...
Thanks, that's pretty encouraging...
OK this may be a stupid question but....when you experience leaking do you know it? I mean does it feel like you have to pee and just can't hold or does it just happen? Also, if you are out say just...
I am so thankful for your posts, I had no idea that "leaking" really meant open faucet. I'll go thick as I can find and back off as needed....
I'm scheduled to have the cathetor removed this Thursday and am expecting some leakage for a time. I assume the Dr. will tell be what pads to buy for that but thought I would run it here too. I have...
Yes I'm from Houston, went to MD Anderson for surgery. Had some success last night passing but as soon as I eat or drink its back. Found nothing happens in a chair but if I walk a bit and lie down it...
Having a little success passing gas since this morning hopefully it will continue or Dr. Wants me to go to Er tomorrow... Tried to add stats to signature but not sure if it took...but I'll figure it...
Just checking in to say hello and look for answers to questions as they arrive. I had the robotic assisted surgery on Monday and I guess it all went well, I was sent home on Tuesday.. So far my...
