Please leave the message for Dr. Krongrad when he returns. My reference to "robotic surgery" was a tongue-in-cheek comment that the site is becoming chaotic (in my humble opinion) and needs "surgery"
Well we're at the end of 3wks. since the "cath" was taken out .All & all things have gotten better wk/wk .As far as urination I'm down to dribble ,mostly during the day because doing my spring yard work.May have to mow my lawn by wks. end.Stiill on a tight control of my bowel movements. The drink only when you feel the need too didn't work for me ,had to put the fluids to myself as well as the colace plus a gentlax every other day to make sure things move.Thats been working for me. Now that I'm into the 4th.wk. hopefully the "dribble " will subside and I can work on the "ED" factor. My plan is to get back to work in 6wks. . My strenght is better and durability will come around as I start to push myself more.Stay in touch , and talk it up with every new guy the shows up for help. It's growing fast. Need everyone to add there post-op sensations ,everyone is different as the recovery prossess moves forward.Stay in touch. Any billing issues i need to know about.If so call the house no. #
Take care , Scott
Well recovery is going "OK" not as well as I'd like but from what I've read on the sight better than some . So, it's been 3 weeks since the cath-- was taken out.First 4-6 days was the toughest Had no sensation as to when i had to go "P". Didn't drink much but the old poop clod up tight. Was'nt good so had to Ex -lax that out .Went back to drinking much more fluid. I'd rather "P' every hour than fight with the other exit.Anyhow things in proved the 2nd week ,get some sesation back as to when i had to go 'P' ,thus making it more managable. Now at the end of week three I sleep at night with a pad still , been dry most nights this week .Still working on the dribble thing.Planting my garden & lawn racking have got me out ,so life is starting to get back to normal.Send me a "Hello " on occasion . I'll stay in touch every now an then, take care of those new PC guys as they come in looking for help ,and take up the new sight great forum in todays world.
A "PC" SURVIOR.---SCOTT
Thanks for asking
Tom
