Post Surgery Day 388 – UTI?

I have a PSA blood test towards the end of May with a follow up in June for the results. In the meantime, I think I may have a urinary tract infection, I have a visit with the urologist tomorrow morning to see what’s going on. “Are not two sparrows […]

Post Surgery Day 317

I haven’t posted anything in a while, but not much is changed. I just finished a visit with the urologist. My PSA is still zero praise the Lord! I will have another visit in 3 months, and then go to 6 months if everything is still okay. I’m still having […]

Post Surgery Day 193

I had my followup appointment with the Urologist. The PSA is “undetectable.” Praise the Lord! We talked about incontinence, which is almost gone. The doctor felt that it was much better than it should be at this point due to the extent of the surgery. He thinks given time it […]

I had a followup blood draw for my check up next week. Everything is progressing fairly well. The problem with incontinence is still there, but a relatively minor irritant. Lord willing it will continue to improve. I have my followup appointment to get the results of the blood test next […]

Figure it is time to provide an update.  Going in tomorrow for a blood draw – follow up PSA test. Have the results next week. Had to skip two camp meetings last week due to this problem with incontinence. My wife and I did visit another church Sunday. That did […]

Post Surgery Day 57

I had a followup appointment with my GP today to bring him up to date on the surgery. He had nothing to add about the prostate surgery. Incontinence was not as bad as I first thought (make no mistake it is bad). The muscles seem to be working, not too […]

Post Surgery Day 52

Now that the catheter is out, life is much better. Had a good night’s sleep in my own bed last night. The cats (and the wife) were as happy as I was. But it was not all fun and games. Along comes the next challenge. Incontinence. This is the new […]
