I had my surgery 11/5/21 and, for what it’s worth, things went much, much better than I expected. My PSA was 9.9, so I was in your range. Very little pain following surgery. I never needed anything...
Surgery was 11/5, so I'm in my 4th week post-op. Things are going really well. Almost no incontinence. I wear something at night, just for peace of mind, but it doesn't seem to be necessary. I had...
I am in my 4th week post-op. Everything went better than expected. I am having almost no issues with incontinence, which had been my biggest worry. I attribute this to: 1) getting the very best...
The kegel I think is best is to stop your stream a couple times while you pee. Hold it 2-3 seconds. That way, you really know you're exercising the right muscle. Staying dry overnight is huge. You...
Thanks, @mumbo. I really do feel OK, so I'm thinking you're right. I'm drinking lots of water and otherwise doing what I'm supposed to. I see the doctor later today....
You’re right. Debralyn got me the very best surgeon and it paid off. I am astonished, truly. I have very little in the way of continence problems. Lot’s of blood in the urine today, which is...
Hi Mumbo, I’ve been doing well until today. Much better than expected. Then a lot of blood in my urine today. It had all but disappeared since the catheter came out. But today, it was red blood at...
Thanks, Pratoman. I’m feeling fine, it’s just disconcerting. Your experience makes me feel better. I’m seeing the surgeon tomorrow, fortunately, so I’ll check in with him then....
A lot of blood today. I'm surprised by this, as I'm feeling good and haven't been over-doing it (I think). Maybe too much time at my desk, but I've been walking a lot and otherwise hydrating and...
Thanks!...
Good advice, Mumbo!...
Well, the catheter came out today, and I have to admit I was nervous about what would follow. Would I be sitting in a puddle of urine 10 minutes later? I’ve been producing a lot and I didn’t know...
Thank you, Halbert! I’m feeling good about it....
Good advice. I do not drink alcohol, so that’s no problem. I do love my coffee, but am limiting it greatly. Thanks. ...
Good advice! ...
Thanks, everyone, for your input. I really appreciate it. Things are going well, including bowels! Never thought I’d be so excited about that. The blood is still in my urine much of the time, but I’m...
Thanks, I am doing that. I still have fairly significant blood in my urine, but I’m feeling good. Catheter comes out on Monday. ...
Thanks, Pratoman. I had very little blood, and then quite a bit today. I'm increasing my water intake. Any thoughts on avoiding coffee or anything like that? I've cut way back, but I could always...
Thank you, Rockin@57. I've been drinking a lot of fluids and I will drink more. Any thoughts on whether I should avoid things like coffee?...
Thanks, Alephnull. You are so right about Debralyn. She has taken amazing care of me all through this process. Believe me, I count my blessings every day with her....
Thanks, Djin!...
Thanks, mattam!...
I had my surgery last Friday and today is Wednesday. I've had blood in my urine once on Sunday and perhaps one other time. No big deal. Today, I'm having blood all the time. I feel fine and keep...
Hi guys, my name is Jeff and I’m Debralyn’s husband. Thanks for all the help and support you’ve given both of us through this forum. You’ve been amazing. It’s my first time logging in, and I’m glad...
