Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hi to all. As many of you know, my surgery was on Dec 11th. I went to the Dr today for my first post-op visit. They removed the stapes from the incisions, and said that they look as though they are healing very well. They put some external strips to give them another few days of assistance. They also removed the catheter. Luckily, I was not one of those people that have everything seized up on. On the other hand, it may be three months to a year or longer before everything improves to where it will ultimately get to in regard to bladder control. At this time, over the last few hours, it does not look real bad, but there is some leakage. The Dr removed any driving restrictions. Unfortunately, he said that I still have to wait 30 days or so before he would release me for wild monkey sex. Oh well, at least my wife is happy about that... I go back on Jan 14th to give blood, and will meet with the Dr on Jan 17th to review the first post-op PSA. May your treatment be an easy way to success, with a cancer free life going forward. Best regards, Ted G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hey Ted, Did you get a lab report back? Wondering what it showed. My doc gave me no staples, only the strips. They all have their own techniques. I hope you incontinenece is at a minimum. I was fortunate in that regard but I have had two nightime incidents, both after I drank coke, so no soft drinks for me. I really hope you can have wild monkey sex after a month. I am 5 weeks post op and my little man is still sleeping.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 You are probably correct. However from a Man's prospective why do you think there are so many men afraid to have it removed? After I made the decision to have it removed so I could be here for my Grandkids my wife fully supported it. There was several people that told me they had family members that on their death bed they said they wished they had decided to have it removed instead of other treatment. So for some one that takes the chance to have it removed and the only step in the recovery period left is to be able to have sex again, it's kind of like a 299 game in bowling or getting tackled on the 1 yard line going for a touchdown. You need that last pin or yard to feel complete again. > > > > Hi to all. > > > > As many of you know, my surgery was on Dec 11th.
