Well, the time has come. Arrived in Georgetown this evening. My Retzius sparing procedure is scheduled for 0800 tomorrow morning.

May be a few days until you hear from me. Stay tuned and thanks for all the support up till now.

The surgery upposedly went well. Took about 2 hours longer than planned. Both nerves spared which is good. Everything seems to be well contained in capsule. Staying overnight. Very tired. Some discomfort, but not terrible. Then again, I am on meds.

Keeping you in my thoughts for a speedy and thorough recovery. Best of luck!

Came back home yesterday after 1 night hospital stay. . About a 3.5 hour drive whic surprisingly was not unmofortable at all.

Felt a bit sore when I got home, so took the Morton an Tylenol and wen to bed. Thus far, pain is about a 1, and I have a pretty low tolerance. Pain will jump up if I cough, which is kind of to be exlpected.

Catheter is draining well, pink lemonade. I highly recommend the suprapubic catheter over the ones up your penis. 100x more comfortable.

So far, so good. On Thursday we cap the catheter and see if I can pee.

Just got the pathology report.

Gleason 4+3=7, but all margins negative which is great news!

Some pain on right side when I cough but otherwise feeling pretty good. Have only been taking Motrin and Tylenol.

Cath comes out Friday AM so long as I pee. I think I will be able to as I have had some urine from Mr. Softy during bowel movements.
