Best of luck Tommy.

>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!
