4 Weeks Ago Today

4 weeks ago today I had my RP; Bladder Neck Reconstruction; Bliateral Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection (8). I am still a little sore. I am still incontinent. The good news is that this morning when I checked my pad there was no urine in it. So pretty much dry from 9:00 PM last nght to around 6:00 AM this morning. Hopefully the same thing happens tonight. During the day, I find myself getting up to go to the bathroom more and more with a full stream which means less on the pad more in the toilet. I am still kegeling. I walked 27 miles in steps last week. This is a life journey. No two are the same. Right now I am not to drive or lift over 5 lbs. I can walk and kegel. On 4/27 I will find out what else I can do. I miss my core building exercises. I feel good and ready to go camping. Anyway, just a little update.

Nice progress
lw,
so far you are progressing well with your urinary recovery.
Comparing to mine, you are 70-80% ahead of me at same time at 4 weeks post op. That is very encouraging in regards to regaining full continence. I hope, your first PSA check will also be good - undetectable.
