Two Days Post Robot Prostatectomy

Hello friends,

My 3 hour surgery was completed on Thursday morning without any complications or surprises. The docs, anesthesiologists, and nursing staff at Fox Chase Cancer Center were first class. My wife had to drive me home in rush hour Philadelphia traffic on Friday afternoon. I had a catheter leg bag on that needed emptying half way home. Fortunately someone on this forum had talked about their experience going home and I was prepared with a capped urinal. I go back next Wednesday to have the catheter removed just in time for Turkey day.
