To those who don't know, I'm back home from the Protestectomy Surgery done on Monday.

It was suppose to be 11:00 AM, but didn't get started till 12:30 PM. And they said I could see the robot before the surgery, but they gave me relaxation medicine before we rolled into the surgical room. I remember rolling down the hall to the surgical room, and the next thing I know, I'm in recovery. They said I "ooohhh and ahhhhedd" the robot, but the medicine must have made me forget. Oh well....

We got back to my room around 6 PM and I've had to adjust to a catherter for my bladder (yuck!) and emptying the bag for the catherter. It's sore!!

And the 5 incisions are sore too... guess I need to up my pain medicine and quit being a he-man.

So far, so good. They take the prostate out and send it to pathology for analysiss. I won't find out the results till next week. The doctor said that visually he did not see any evidence of the cancer spreeding outside the prostate. Hope that holds true!

So all in all, success so far!
