Radical Robotic Prostatectomy on 7Jan, overnight in hospital and discharged next day, so just an update on the ups and downs. Generally speaking, I'm fully mobile, but just occasionally the bottom right stitch pulls, but nowhere as bad as the days immediately following the operation. Eating more or less normally, although I found for a week or so I'd really lost my appetite. This has been accompanied by a strange feeling of being on another planet and simply not wanting to do anything, although I seem to be getting brighter daily. I've yet to drive a short distance, it's more than I can't seem to be bothered by it, but it's on the agenda for next week. Perhaps a couple of times a week, at night, I have mild acid reflux. As respects urinary incontinence, good days and bad days, I'm pretty dry at night and moving around the house, but have a rubber mat and bucket by the side of the bed as I'm peeing, it seems, every hour at night. What a joy the catheter night bag was! My biggest depression is going out walking, walking being one of my big activities. Here it seems I'm squirting every pace, thus a half mile walk to the village store is a pad filling experience and I'm really feeling low about getting out and about more. Perhaps in the warmer weather I could follow in the steps of the naked rambler ! Obviously, I'm using Squeezy app, so it's early days yet,although it's pretty depressing and demeaning.I was slightly constipated after the op, but a couple of Movicol sorted that out, but now I seem to have far softer than usual pooh and sometimes have to go twice a day and this is quite different to my pre operative bowel habits. I had the proverbial pain in bum when sitting, bought one of those polo mint air cushions which was brilliant and after a few days the discomfort has gone completely. No joy to date on the erection front yet, but told the take Tadalafil every other day. I have follow up appointment at Hospital on Monday, so can chat these issues through with them. First PSA will be in March. Hugely impressed and humbled by the care I've received from the Hospital, the work done by the staff on what they described as a noisy night on my general ward was amazing. Only five more days of compression stockings and injections. Thanks for sticking with this.
Thanks RodR . I've had to revert to the full paracetamol and ibuprofen regime to help control the pain from the bruising. Fingers crossed this subsides soon.
I like your fluid strategy. I've stopped fluids after 7pm to help control the overnight pee issue.
Onwards and upwards
