Surgery on Monday

[Dahliathemeh]

Glad surgery went well! I'm sorry to hear about your fever. I hope this is the only hiccup in your healing.

I was surprised how quickly the pain went away after mine. Just do what they say and hang tough.

[Sir Henry]

Sorry to hear about the fever.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope the fever is minor issue.

It seems the fever was due to stress and not something worse. They are keeping me in hospital one more day to get more antibiotics in me just in case. The pain has been tolerable. Foley catheter is a bother..

Glad to hear that it wasn't likely an infection. You really don't need to deal with that on top of the surgery recover.

I can identify. I was staring down the barrel of prostate cancer about a year an a half ago. I finally ended up with good news, but was expecting the knife. It's not what anyone wants, but they really are so much better at dealing with it these days. For most it is just a bump in the road. Long term outcomes for early stage prostate cancer is incredibly good these days.

Get well soon.

Glad you are in good hands! I feel like this will be behind you very soon! ( no pun intended ). Hang in TMB.
Many things can cause fever. Even foods that your body does not like can cause fever. Keep thinking positive!

Foley catheter is a bother..

You bet. For me that was the worst pain of all. I finally talked the nurse into taking it out.
Male nurse that is.

TMB, keep the positive prayer vibe going. Last summer I underwent surgeries, chemo + radiation, feeding tube...eessh it's all a humbling memory now.
I built as big of prayer circle as I could think of, this may sound silly, but I could feel it working during those days I felt like crap physically and emotionally.
It all worked as I'm cancer free at the moment. Best of luck and consider another prayer coming your way.

[TMB]

Thank you all again for the prayers and well wishes.I have only one day left to tolerate this darn Foley Catheter. thy are going to remove it at my first follow-up. Yesterday the paper showing approval of my FMLA arrived. The next step will be getting the short term disability insurance to pay off so i don't use up all my savings before getting back to work.

[TMB]

great follow up at the dr toiday. catheter is out, i can drive, WooHoo! my incisions are healing well. cancer had not spread past the prostate.

[fortyshooter]
