I had a real breakthrough (in more than one sense) yesterday. Seven
weeks after my successful nerve-sparing RRP (all negative margins) I
had successful intercourse with my wife, although with just a wee
semi-erection. No Viagra either. My surgeon said he would prescribe
Viagra if needed at my 3 month follow-up visit, but that my wife and I
should engage in vigorous foreplay prior to then and see how far we
could go.

congrats jim - the old saying about use it or lose it is more true than
ever before.  it should get better.

knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional

invariably fatal. Prostate cancer is only sometimes so."

Sounds like good progress, slow but steady. I agree w/Curtis, things
should continue to improve in that area.

I know there are quite a few couples who are quite green with envy!!! Keep
working on it - I think you'll have it all back shortly.
