5 week Post Op
 |
Apr 26, 2018 - 9:57 am
Well, I have my 5 week post op with my doctor tomorrow. I am 67. Gleason 4+3=7. RP; bladder neck reconstruction; 8 pelvic lymph nodes removed. I know he is going to ask about the incontinence which I still have, but not like it was, getting better. I know he will ask about the ED part. My wife and I checked that out today and she told me "it is working". |

Done with First Post Op
Well, all they wanted to do today was to talk to me. They did take a urine sample and found under Urine Blood POL: Trace-Hemolyzed (ABN); Urine Leukocytes POL: Trace (ABN). I have gained 3 lbs since my surgery. They said I need to hold off one more week before I start doing the things that I normally do and then ease into those things. This will put me at 6 weeks of just kegling and walking. They checked my incisions from the surgery, pretty much healed up. Also checked to see if there were any signs of a hernia. They asked about my incontinence. In their opinion, I am making progress. Maybe a little ahead for most folks my age. They asked about the sexual function. I said, my wife said "it is working." So they are going to do my first PSA test in July. I will let you folks know how that comes out. In the meantime, in another week, my wife and I will prep our camper and head to the beach. Thanks for all the words of encouragement and the wealth of information that is contributed to this site.
