Welcome to the Orchi club. I have a 37 Ford flathead. Hot in its day. Best to you for a fast recovery.

Hey Hotcars74! I was in that same post op bed myself in 2017 . It was the Best move that I’ve made in this ordeal . Recover well . No regrets and always we must love our self’s . T or no t ,balls or no balls , we are men . It is a man’s heart and spirit that proves us, not our physicality .. keep moving ! 🙏🥳🥂

I did the same several months back. So far I consider it the best move in my Pca journey.

When you are in a group and telling each other about what you got for Christmas, I expect yours will be the most unique gift of all. 😀 I hope your recovery goes well.

Here's to a good recovery! It varies person-to-person, but usually settles down well within a couple of weeks for most. I think you'll be pleased. It's great not to have any more Lupron shots and so on.

I made that same choice almost 3 years ago now, and am completely satisfied with my decision. You may also be surprised (I was) how much more comfortable many things are without the boys getting in the way all the time. I don't miss the rascals at all.
