Surgery was very successful!!! - 01/17/08 06:20 AM

Hello Everyone:

Thanks for all the wishes of good health and success with the surgery on my original post.

Everything went well and I'm now on the mend. I probably won't be on line much in the next few days. I just wanted to say a great big thanks for all the support here. And for those of you who have had the surgery you've walked in my shoes already so there's nothing I can tell you. I love Tony Mads comment " The foley was invented by someone who hates men." You got that right my friend.

All the best to everyone here at this great forum.

Talk to you soon.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve this morning ... He sounds good and strong ... He has long been an advocate of exercise and 'clean living' so I don't think it will be long before he is back to the kb and to the Zone ...

Steve,

Glad everything worked out OK and I'm sure you'll be back to normal in a week or less. And, yes the foley cathedar was invented by someone that hated men. I've been catherized about a dozen times and I was confident they used an old piece of garden hose that was lined with razor blades.

My father had this in the summer of 2005, I (kind of) know what you are going through. But if a 76 year old can endure this, you surely can.

Speedy recovery Steve.

Thanks everyone!! My only surprise is how good I feel after a few days. My dear wife is taking great care of me. Talk about being pampered. I'm going to enjoy it while I can.

The bigger challenge will be not to try to do much too soon.

Yes, Chico !!! Now we are playing in the same team :Prostate Killers

Steve,

Glad you are feeling well. Did you have the robotic surgery? I agree with you about the cath. When I had mine removed it felt like I was released from jail. Get well!

The second (very important) step in a prostate surgery is the training (physioterapy) to avoid urine loss.
I made 20 sessions during one month with absolute success.

Tom I had a Radical Prostatectomy. I was not a canidate for the robotic surgery.

Chico, thanks for the tip on the therapy!!

Nigel and Al, Randy Tom thanks and to everyone else whose name I may have not mentioned.

Al I know I'm going to have lots of time on my hands........but never did think about songwriting.

Bebop yea, that's all they tell me I have is to " Take it one day at a time"

My wife want's to me extend a BIG THANK YOU as well. She knows I'm a frequent visitor to SZ, but never knew I had so many on line friends. She really appreciates the support I have received here.

Steve,
on a side note I think that I accidentally deleted an email of yours: I saw just the title and it referred to the PA2X Pro; since I greatly value your opinion, could you send it again to me, please?
Thanks!
