Good morning from South Bucks. My husband had radical prostatectomy surgery last Wednesday. Having had a few surgeries myself (not cancer related, but affecting the lower abdominal area), it seems like my husband is languishing vs recovering. Can any of you share what your typical recovery period was after surgery? My husband’s surgery was 6 days ago and he still seems to be very sensitive which I think makes him tense up, which in turn is making other parts of his body sore (back, neck, arms).
What did you find most helpful in terms of making progress/healing? What was least helpful?
I think part part of the problem is that neither of us have any information on what to expect in terms of progress. I have a high pain tolerance and pushed myself to get up and get on with life after my surgeries but I know that recovery does not look the same for each person and I certainly have no concept of what prostrate surgery would feel like.
Thank you you in advance for any feedback. Just want my sweetheart to feel better and it seems like he is struggling.
